@dwayne.applewhite: Most people were taught to trust the 401k before they were taught how it actually works. That’s the problem. It’s not about saying a 401k is bad. It’s about understanding the rules, the taxes, the access limits, and what it was really designed to do. Because if all you know is “contribute and wait until retirement,” you don’t really have a strategy. You just have a habit. And habits are good. But understanding is better. #401k #FinancialEducation #RetirementPlanning #fyp #WealthBuilding
What am I missing? My 401K Is booming and has done historically very well.

BS. 401Ks make people lots of money. They’re tax free and the market gains compound that money. Along with social security, people should be able to retire comfortably.

401k should not be mandatory..gov jobs (non politicians) are being forced to have this instead of a normal pension now. All jobs should provide a pension..period!

I was a machinist and eventually an industrial engineer. Put 10% in 401k with 6% company match for 35 years. It worked for me. Retired at 59. It can be done but requires a lot of discipline. Everybody situation is different for sure.

The destruction of the middle class started in the early 80’s with Reagan when he introduced trickle down economics to make the rich richer and thus destroying pensions

Put the minimum amount into your 401k to max employer contributions and then max out your Roth IRA

This is why I stopped contributing to 401K, and instead have that same amount put into a Roth IRA and diversify 🤓

401k is not tax free. You will be taxed when you take money out. If you save and buy a rental property. You will always have income coming in and the house value always goes up. Real estate makes way more than 10% a year

I encourage people to not listen to this and invest in your 401k. it is an amazing way for common people to build wealth. If you’re not making $125,000+ a year, you’re common people lol, put the money in early when you start working at 22 or so and every subsequent paycheck thereafter and let those 40 years you work work for you too. I promise anyone that poo poos 401k’s either are bitter they didn’t or they’re trying to sell you something. Put the money in!

I’d much rather just have a 401k and put more into it, and not put into social security. Social security is a joke.
