I'm 31, and have been at my current job for 8 years, working in a unique field at a small company (25ish employees) as an engineer who really can do almost everything at the company. I've got an excellent relationship with my boss (the owner), and have a decent amount of pull when it comes to making decisions about products we work on.
It's a fun job, but being such a small company we don't get much for benefits. Really the biggest benefit is a flexible schedule, I can pretty much come and go as I please. That's HUGE for me since I've got two young kids, and my wife doesn't have a flexible schedule at all. It'll also be a giant benefit when we move back to my parent's farm later this summer.
There's no insurance or retirement plans here, but I'm due for a review in the next couple months and would like to push my boss to put money into a retirement account for me. How do I approach him about something like that, and what kind of options are there for something like that?
