Good luck to him and your family. I would have loved to have set up a 401k when I was a kid. My job that I mentioned promised a retirement. Seventeen years later they took away that retirement. They froze it right where it was and threw me onto a 401k plan. Neither will amount to a hill of beans. My 401k was essentially destroyed in the last two years.

My dad worked with a man who did him a wonderful service. The man found out that my dad wasn't contributing to the 401k. My parents had 3 little kids and didn't think they could afford it.

The guy took my dad by the arm, drug him into the office and INSISTED that he sign up. My mom didn't appreciate it at the time. LOL! When the benefits started wasting away my parents were so grateful to him. Mom and dad made sure to emphasize to all of us that saving for retirement is essential.
