401k Plan might be a Bigger PONZI Scheme than Social Security. 401k Bubble will BURST.

Yeah, many if not most people don’t pay attention to the fees being taken out of their defined contribution plans. They don’t directly see that being taken out of their paycheck and they don’t pay attention to the monthly statements sent to them. Of course if people paid more attention they can see different ways to invest their money.

Alright, here we go.

In the worst recession in modern times...

I have LOST more money in the last 6 months than most people will ever have.

Don't 401(k) brehs.

This is not sound advice
401k is pre tax plus alot of employers match. Overall the broad market indices outperform overtime. What we're seeing now is a usual dip in markets. Now is a good time to keep dollar cost averaging into a broad index or an age targeted fund.

Sorry breh.

I was being facetious.

Obviously, 401(k) is a good idea.

@Stuntone and I have a history. I was trolling him. I should have made that more clear.

you can own stocks, on your own, that pay dividends and even sell them as CC's to get additional revenue on top of the dividend. shyts about to get uglier than it already is.

I’m well aware. Covered calls can definitely be profitable. I work for them so I’m just eating off what they match.

Counterpoint (cause why not).

The fed will quadruple all that 401k money on an individual tax-free basis when folks retire.

I mean if we're saying anything why not say anything.
So you don't see massive tax increases in the future? Just keep raising that debt ceiling forever? Oh, I forgot the Government is gonna tax the rich to pay for it.
:mjlol:

Believe anything one of the most corrupt governments on the planet says brehs. Once the National debt is no longer serviceable everything will be on the table. It's just a matter of when now.

if you’re young, leave it alone — maybe even increase your contributions
you’re getting discount prices, so when the market goes back up you’ll be good (if the market doesn’t go back up, we are ALL fukked)
i know people who got their retirement investments pummeled during 2008 who didnt panic and left it there. and they’re fine now

if you’re not young, then you should’ve acted accordingly and moved your assets into stable investments beforehand

I see massive tax decreases in the future. Negative tax rates, in fact. The govt will pay me 14.35% just to hold my existing holdings in the future.

I mean if we're wildly speculating, why not wildly speculate in my favor?

And if they can sieze my 401(k), they can seize your checking account, savings account, brokerage acct, home, pension, children, etc... right?
So why have money anywhere if the govt is just going to seize it, right?
I mean, you do have a bank account, right? Why, if the govt is just going to seize it?

I mean if we're saying anything why not just say anything?
