Can I contribute to both 457 and Roth IRA? by Homer Simpson
From wikipedia it says " Another difference is that 457 plan participant cannot make designated Roth contributions as participants in appropriately amended 401(k) and 403(b) plans can. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/457_plan I am not sure if that means you can not have both Roth IRA and 457?
