are you 50?
You not cashing out shyt lil homie, you set your contributions to atleast a 5%, your 401k is transferable as you continue to work, so when you get fired/leave you can transfer over to your new job. The point is , long term retirement's account. They automatically put you in as a high risk investor , so more stocks, less bonds.
Don't treat your 401k as a savings account. Save your money as usual but do deductions automatically , you will get used to the deductions . Work for a few years and then you got a few thousands sitting .
29 and just starting a 401k?I’m 29
Plan on having this job 4 years max
Going to up my contribution from 3 percent to 6
By the time I graduate and get a better gig I’ll use that bread to do something that counts

Don't cash out.
I regret cashing mine out and I was only 23 and didn' even have a large 401k.
Now I upped my contribution and caught up
I know nikkas in their 40s who cashed out
They gone be struggling.

Just build a separate savings account.... trust me you will not regret it bro.
You are starting your 401K relatively late and are planning to cash out already smh. General advice states that if you are making approximately 50K a year, at 30 years old you should have $25K stacked up.Going to try to stay here while I finish school
