I'm the Boss!

I can imagine the TDS crowd, their brains are exploding!  LOL!

MAGA, if you’re upset about Trumps name being removed from the Kennedy Center, it’s okay. It’s still in the Epstein files. LOL!

Trump!

I just don’t trust the process, but you do you. The continuous rise in the stock market certainly benefits they wealthier while our actual cost of living burdens down those struggling on the lower end.

Gains in the stock market benefit anyone contributing to a 401k. Over 80% of employees in the U.S. have access to an employer sponsored 401k.

If they don’t contribute, they’re missing out on the best investment chance offered in America today. Especially if it’s employer matched of some amount/type.

Those who say they can’t afford it don’t know that the tax savings on their regular paycheck almost negates their contribution in most cases.

Many employees find their actual take home pay very close to the same whether they contribute or not because of the pre-tax aspect of 401k’s ‘lowering’ their taxable paycheck.

Nothing goes straight up or goes straight down.  I'll work its way down.  Trust the process!

You sound like a sharp guy and I don’t really care to debate you, but google says 60% of Americans have access to a 401k and of those, most probably have decent jobs. Today’s cost of living struggles are real for the lower income people and it just keeps getting worse. It’s very safe to say our “trust the process” president’s daily decisions have no consideration for the lower income citizens.

I’m not a ‘trust the process’ guy.

We were both a little off based on current numbers. Looks like 75% have access to a defined plan of some type. The attachment breaks it down (latest data) by different categories, regions, etc.

Now the word affordability is a Democrat Hoax. No the word affordability was what we thought we were going to get when we voted you in! Good grief! Trump Disappointment Syndrome. TDS

Take from it what you may but I agree with James Stavridis, Retired U.S. Navy and former supreme allied commander of NATO.

Also, Jim Townsend.

I didn't want an article, I wanted your opinion.  

[Separation Scientist]

Its amazing the Democrats are screaming "affordability" when they control fraud ridden places like CA and NY, where the cost of living is astronomical. I bought gas in TX at $2.99 this week. I bet its still double that in CA due to their sky high taxes.

My opinion is that I agree with the experts.  Are you an expert and or do you have experience in the subject matter?  
This is the last day of spring and early summer.  I assume that big beautiful bill has kicked in.  Lol

This is Trump winning. You should be happy and quit second guessing by asking me to guide your opinion.

During global summits like the G7 in France, former and current instances of President Donald Trump appearing to doze off or nod have drawn significant attention. Critics and news outlets frequently point to his fatigue and physical exhaustion at these events.

Oh no. An 80 year old with jet lag dozing off. What’s the world coming to?
