Before the age of 25 I would like to acquire at least one property within a mile from campus.

With a solo 401k plan, each spouse can contribute $53,000 and each can contribute a catch-up amount of $6,000 if age 50 or older.

I became deaf at the age of around 5 years old and had a choclear implant.

Further, sheltering income via a retirement account does not eliminate the tax, it defers the tax until the income is recognized as a distribution from the retirement account (mandatory distributions begin at age 701/2.).
