Isn't there a maximum you can put in a 401k?

I believe this is only through work, and the max is around 15K per year. You could open an IRA, but the max yearly contribution is far less than you have.

Can you defer taxes with IRAs? I guess I should talk to a pro, just sucks because I feel like I might get advice that is good for them and maybe not good for me?

You seem to have a lot of basic finance questions. While ppl here can answer them, perhaps you would be better served by looking through a couple personal finace books first.
