Amen. Libs need to realize that the only way to get rich is to let Zaddy Trump take the reins, and make our 401Ks GREAT AGAIN.My 401k is down too but to be honest people could not have expected the run we are on to just keep on going.
Furthermore liberals have to get comfortable with the idea of more modest investment growth because if we demand things like banning stock buy backs, and pursuing policy to increase wage growth, reducing market consolidation, and putting labor first, that means no more crazy runs in the market.
Then again, I have a pension so it is easier for me to say **** like this .

The current political climate has made things difficult with my family as well. We are in completely opposite ends of the spectrum. I like to think that both sides are the same, so that I can at least look at them as compassionate human beings and not soulless animals. But it's harder than you'd think. As the following story illustrates:
It was Thanksgiving 2017 and we were all gathered for dinner. There must've been 20 of us seated. They asked me to say grace. I started saying, "Bless our Brothers and neighbors. Grant Mexicans, but only the legal ones, food and comfort. Grant all Americans health, if they can afford it. Most of all, be with the White man, as he is being attacked from all angles."
If you want to talk about incivility, talk about the faces around that table. My cousin has the nerve to say, "This is a time of year to share with those who have less than us." Seriously? I can't afford a second house and he wants to lecture me? I stormed out, after first throwing the turkey on the floor and dipping the dog in the gravy bowl.
That night, with nothing to my name but one house and a million dollars, I came across a meeting for the coal gang. the rest is history. they are my family now.
Two thingsmy job matches my 401k contributions
and i have a pension too but STILL
they need to chill
on the REAL
the dems
better step up to the plate
if they get the ball in their hands
we dont need them to win and get complacent
also we as THE PEOPLE
cant let them get complacent
let them know WE are the ones who got them elected
and they better get things done that benefit the people
I mean yeahday-to-day or even year-to-year fluctuations in a 401k don't mean much unless you're close to retiring. in the long run it'll average out. since most of us are 20-30 years from retiring, I wouldn't sweat it.
the more immediate impact would be if companies start laying people off, the tax base shrinks, government spending goes down, etc. even then your 401k should be fine decades from now. and, like Rusty is saying, vote. having sane, responsible people in government will reduce the likelihood that something catastrophic happens and endangers everyone's savings and retirement.
speaking about voting so something catastrophic doesn't happen:
everything is fine, I'm sure
Go eat a grilled chicken sandwich and relax, b.I mean yeah
but let me complain man
First of all, I know who can replace Megan Kelly and make sure an echo chamber doesn’t take over at NBC
Do it, NBC, you know you want to.
