Especially when your 60 year old wife leaves you for another woman and takes half of everything. This happened to a co-worker of mine.

Maintaining 401K investments until RMD begins at 72 offers opportunities for a ton of earnings. I’ve been doing it since early retirement 2015.

- First they came for the $25 million IRA holders, and I did not speak out-
- Because I did not have $25 million.
- Then they came for the $5 million IRA holders, and I did not speak out-
- Because I did not have $5 million.
- Then they came for the retiree social security, and I did not speak out-
- Because I was not a retiree.
- Then they came for me-
- and there was no one left to speak for me.

I thinks it because the retirement account isn’t the only account for savings. Maxed out Roth IRAs won’t accrue that much. Some people A lot put in enough to maximize the tax break on the traditional ira. Then the rest is invested elsewhere.
To: Political Junkie Too
That is what this is about. Fix a target small enough it can’t defend itsself, create envy, inspire greed against it, destroy it and be a hero to the jealous, envious, ignorant masses.

Yep. Some lefty broad from a NYC “Think tank” suggested nationalizing 401k accounts.
It’s a pity no one hunted her down.

I have been saying this for years: Some of us who have paid into Social Security our whole lives are not going to get it. They are going to do means testing.
“You already have enough saved up. You don’t need Social Security.”
But I also see them coming after money we have saved. It’s pessimistic, I know. I just feel it in my gut.

Will they raise taxes on All income? Answer: Yes
Will they steal your whole account? Answer: Not likely
Will the market destroy your retirement with a deflationary crises?
Answer: Not yet or anytime soon, but historically it “does happen.”

I assume my pension (state teachers’ retirement) has already been looted.
I’ve been telling colleagues for years to diversity.
And, own physical gold and sliver.

The DNC are a bunch of cowards. Why are they so afraid to not go ALL IN and just go 1917 or 1949?
