...founded P.F. Chang's China Bistro in Scottsdale, Ariz., with the help of Chinese-American consultant Philip Chiang (Chang was derived from Chiang). An alternative to Chinese food-court fare and high-priced formal dining, Fleming's casual-dining chain of bistros soon became a comfortable, go-to place for happy hours, family outings and birthday dinners. You'll find many of them in unexpected places, like Alpharetta, Ga., and Rogers, Ark.

The tax-deferred 401(k) plan, and others like it, such as the 403(b) and the IRA, have become our nation's go-to retirement piggy bank. Invented nearly 30 years ago as an executive perk - one more way to dodge Uncle Sam - the 401(k) was never meant to replace the employer-guaranteed pension fund, supplemented by Social Security, as the cornerstone of our nation's retirement system.
