re: Traditional IRA contribution limits?

Number 4 would be a variable annuity if you want a tax-advantaged account.
But if you can afford to max out your 401 and IRA and still have money left over you are a special person indeed.

Is there a limit on how much you can put into any IRA the first time you open one?

If you can get a Health Savings Account, that is another option. Essentially it is a traditional IRA, except that you can withdraw tax-free for qualified medical expenses.
If your employer offers one of these it is likely with an employer match - always a good thing.

401K max is only $16,500 and IRA is $5,000, right? Doesn't seem like nearly enough to cover retirement investing (assuming a Roth is not an option). But I could be missing something.
Beyond 401K and IRAs, you're pretty much looking at traditional mutual funds to make up the difference, right?
