Ping!
Hmmmm. Taxed again on the Social Security. It doesn’t help the argument (in my case anyway) to wait until 65 to collect.
My 401K has a self-managed portion where I can buy indivdual stocks. I don’t want that to change. I’ve gotten a better return on my own rather than having everyting in targeted funds or the other offerings.
ut I’m getting close to getting out anyway. The markets are rigged by HFTs and other means. I’ve seen the hedge fund operatives up close and personal one too many times and they get away with it over and over again with no consequence. I’m waiting on one or two stocks to play out, then cashing in and getting out. I honestly don’t think there’s a big enough broom to clean out the corruption I’ve experienced first hand.
