If my company didn’t have matching funds, I would drop the 401 K.
Over course, I will never be able retire. To many people expect that you can have a second childhood and stop working. That will not be an option for many in the future.

Yep. My PLAN was to retire by 50; I’m 51 & counting, now. Granted, I have a decent stockpile of assets, but it’s still not enough to last me the rest of my natural life, barring any huge health problems and constant confiscation of said assets from that beotch, Mother Government.
It really is depressing. I’m usually QUITE the Pollyanna but these days, I’m really, REALLY discouraged about my future and the future of my country. Every DAY I find another reason to loathe those POSs in Washington and every day I’m closer to moving off the grid, living in a shack in the woods and writing my Magnum Opus.
Wish I were kidding...
