Anyone actually paying into their 401K?

Even without an employer match you're ahead of investing outside of the 401k if you drawdown by less than your marginal tax rate.

Once you add in the match, it can be beneficial to put the money in a 401k even with a 2008 level drawdown. In my case, at a 33% bracket + ~$6000 in matching means that my cost basis is $12000 and the total contribution is $24000 so even at a 50% drawdown I'd be even net-net.

good point. the only people that I know that truely lost during the 2008 downturn were the people that got scared and took all their savings out at the bottom because they were close to retirement. they had ~1MM in their 401K but took it all out at the bottom (probably lost over half a million) and missed out on the recovery.

That's a doll...r..r..right user? I'm not entirely sure and It's freaking me out as if its not then this thot has no soul

hold up a fucking second. your anecdotal nonsense is shit. lehman brothers one of the largest investment banks went to 0. all of lehman brothers and jewburger berman mutual funds collapsed. regions bank mutual funds collapsed to 0. many many BOND funds that were meant to be AAA safe diversified fixed income mutual funds collapsed to zero. almost all equities and assets collapsed including real estate leaving 10s of thousands if not more homeless. get out now

stock market isnt going to crash you faggots are worse than the >muh housing bubble faglords

enjoy being forever poor

What do you mean it isn't going to crash?
You mean it isn't going to crash soon, or ever again?

in 1929 the stock market was in its infancy. it was run by like 10 dudes in suits who did it part time to get away from their wives.

since then there has been many crashes, but compare it to any stablestock like amazon. do you even see a blip at those time periods? we will never see what happened in 1929 again.

regardless, your company matches dollar for dollar. your $95 invested in 1999 you only paid $47 for that share. 2 years later, by 2003, you would have broken even.

401k is worth it. its pretaxed funds. you wont even notice a dent in your paycheck

A 401k? Is one of the perks that you get in return for having a boss?

Sounds like a good way to invest, but I was talking about AMZN, not 401ks. Learn how to parse an argument and think critically, and maybe you'll be able to cut off your shackles

I'm gonna cash out 50% to buy out my ex equity on a house we owned. Fuck the police

im talking about amazon too. i invest directly into amazon through my 401k. my contributions are matched 1:1 up to 8% of my salary by my company.

>losing out on compound interest

Guys, I contribute 10% to 401k but there is no company match. They give us pension instead. Am I making a bad move doing 401k? I make $100k a year so about $10k will go into 401k if I keep this rate.

u got dubs again. damn

401k is pretaxed so you have to consider that. also 10k a year is nothing, its not even 1k a month (pretax). youd end up with like $600 a month more

it's not possible to "lose" that kind of money. Someone knows where it went, either it was theft or used for something illegal. Probably both

it was the funds to pay for 9/11.

are you telling me (((they))) sent Dubya a bill?

>qty 3 - controlled demolition/skyscraper - Total cost $2.3 Trillion. Please make check payable to Urban Moving Systems

>dubya
it was a usa controlled military craft that shot missiles into it along with a controlled demolition of the building. and probably some funds to hookers and blow.

Amazon shares fell over 98% in 2001. Needed super iron hands back then. You kids these days ain't seen nothing yet.

this was the web in 2001. amazon didnt do shit back then. just like the stock market in 1929.

I've started depositing a good portion of my paycheck into a Roth 401k (no employers matching unfortunately) but into a slow growth low risk fund instead of the target 2055 fund for Millennials like they suggested. I'm too worried about a major crash within the next couple years. That being said, am I a retard?

I've been doing the same thing user

lmao I remember having to ask my mom to use the phone line in the house for internet

You need to take some risks if you want to make money investing. That said, an S&P 500 index fund is not the riskiest investment you could buy. Low risk funds are not a bad idea if your risk tolerance is low (as it seems) - but if your investment horizon is long you might want to take an equities-heavy position.

One of the biggest return killers you're going to face on those funds you are buying is the expense ratio. You can replicate that 2055 fund by buying stock and bond indices and re-balancing once a year.

I max out a 401k every year
and IRA
and HSA

as a single filer that didn't man up and provide to some nasty roastie and her child Jamal, the government taxes me harder to redistribute my wealth to them anyway

I don't care if the funds in that account get obliterated in the next downturn, as long as they get as little of it as possible

Are you saying, that potential benefits of keeping in the 2055 fund outweigh danger of a significant crash soon? I was planning to rebalance into the 2055 only after the stock market "cools off".

This is the only thing you need to learn here. In most cases, even a 50% downturn would only break you even if you took out the taxes you would have been charged plus the employer match. It's a no brainer.

Me too m8, are you me?

Aaah the feels my man, 17 years ago :^)

24 here and not a dime I can manage my own money far better than some greedy jew

I put in 15%. So generally I shouldn't touch anything even if the stock market goes to shit? Not even rebalancing and putting more into bonds or anything?

I don’t have to be in stocks

It's called a time horizon, you fucking moron. I'm 24 and my 401(k) is entirely in equities.

>You know the stock market is at most a few years away from crashing big time, right?
My dad is not that far from retirement, this is what scares me the most. He works so hard and I don't want to see him hurt by this.

It's mostly accounting errors, with some black budget contributions. Departments double counting money owned to other departments, etc.

I max out my 401k, so contributing 18.5k/year. I've done it for a few years now (30-year old boomer) and it's made a huge difference on my overall balance. I've reallocated slightly into safer investments. If there's a downturn I'll go heavier into the Russell 2000 index fund and DCA in like nothing ever happened.
