Budgeting your expenditures

You can't...a 401k is an employer sponsered plan.

Since I'm not a financial advisor, I can only offer a few alternative suggestions:

a 529 (great for education)
IRA/roth IRA (ask a bank/credit union...for retirement)
an IDA (Individual Development Account...google IDA + your state for more info)

Morningstar is right, unfortunately 401(k) is only offered trough employers... Just whatever Morningstar said is what I repeat :D
