The Only Thing We Have Left is Our 401k's

Posted on 01/06/2021 6:01:32 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

Not for long. The debt is $30 trillion and there's $33 trillion in our plans. If we couldn't win Georgia Trump's stolen argument is without air. The rats will have 2 years to do their thing. I'm too old to go out and protest or send money to the Kelly Loffers out there and the younger generation is all woke. They will proudly take us out.

401ks are largesse from the government.
What government giveth, government WILL taketh.

The Democrats intend on converting our 401k money to approved investments only.
The only tax savings will be seen in investments tied to TBills and US Bonds, only.
That conversion will be “marked to market” immediately to the gen-fund.
The best you will make is 3% tax free.

Galt Gold.

The 401K pot is akin to a topped off feed hopper in the largest of swine lots. It is only a matter of time until it’s decided that everyone should share in this.

Why isn’t this labeled “vanity”?

“I don’t know. How would a negative GDP affect it?”

You’re talking about a Carter-like economy? Deflation? Stagflation?

Sure it had to come to this. Dumb and Dumber here in Georgia guaranteed it would come to this. They will still try to run again. We’ll see if the Georgia complacent party has learned anything

We’ve entered the darkest part of our country’s history.so far. It’s time to pray hard. O Lord give us providential protection for our lives,liberty and especially our faith in You. Provide a stumbling block in front of our enemies and give us the strength and courage to endure the onslaught of evil actions by Satan’s disciples. I ask these desires be granted with grace and with Your ultimate wisdom. Amen

Every government sees you as a dairy cow...

Until it gains enough power to view you as a beef cow.

Plan accordingly.

Preferably, years ago.

I think that debt is a tool that the Globalists depend upon. Whether we owe $33T or $30T is fine with them. They are not trying to get our debt down to $0. They like debt. It’s a control mechanism.

What they dislike is independent people. Your 401k helps you stand up straight and be free. So, they want to take your 401k. Just so that you won’t have it any more.

Of course, they will use that money for nefarious purposes. But using the money is a secondary goal. Taking it away from you is all they really want to do.

Arizona is on the downward trend. I would not come here now if I were looking to relocate. I say that sadly and as someone who has lived here for 20 years.

The Democrats have now stolen control of the government. What remains to be seen is if this Democrat party is made up of the old, incompetent over reachers who will screw up their victory, or a newer, more sinister group of progressives who will power their way to public compliance. I’d like to think this is Biden’s old party of idiots, but I fear that Obama and other anti-Americans are running this and they won’t make the same mistakes they did in 2009 and 2010.

“What’s the inflation rate now?”

The scientifically determined rate published by the government or an accurate one?

FWIW, I am on 32 acres with a “newer” fairly small but nice home and a 40x60 barn and two “usually flowing” streams as well as a natural well.

Total annual real estate taxes: $248. At that price, we’re not “renting” our property from the government. :)

they can’t “take” our 401k’s because it’s not theirs to take, its basically like a savings account. They can change how they are taxed, but that’s it.

TOO OLD TO SEND MONEY??

So you donate nothing here and nothing to Trump’s defense?

I didn’t know there was an age where you were too old to donate money.

You have a 401k so unless there’s 100 dollars in it, you’re in better shape than many.

And next time type that it’s a VANITY

Unless you took over the site and I missed it

I don’t expect they’d outright confiscate them as subject them to a hefty tax and/or maybe start carving “excess” Medicare costs out as well.

The week that Obama was sworn in, I liquidated my 401Ks and IRAs. I cost me a wad in taxes, but it’s now all mine.

I did find out that the bank’s financial advisor who was overseeing the IRA, had shuffled it through 7 different financial institutions to hide it. It took me almost 6 months to get the cash back. The advisor is in prison for embezzling, because my inquiry led to a general review of the accounts he was managing and uncovered many embezzled accounts.

The 401(k) is an IRS law, and the communists have been demanding we forfeit them for social security. I believe the 401k is a goner by summer.

Oh, and massive inflation or government takeover of the underlying assets within the accounts could of course wreak havoc as well.

Yes, they can. The USSC gave congress the ability to tax anything and everything including nothing and to tax all of it.
