    Look stranger, no one is saying you’re wrong to call out the problems with the economy. Everyone is on your side there.

    They’re saying that you personally made a mistake, and that’s one that other people can and should avoid for themselves. If after 45 years you REALLY TRULY only have like $2k USD in your retirement account then you messed up somewhere. That’s almost impossible the way compounding interest works.

    Many 401ks are not actually invested by default, it’s up to the account holder to assign those funds themselves. Guessing that’s what happened to you. Unfortunately this isn’t widely known for some reason and companies don’t bother to educate employees about it.

      Right right, being called a fucking idiot, accused that I’m lying, absolutely goes along with what you’re saying. I too enjoy blaming the victim. Everyone’s on someone’s side alright.

          I’m guessing they didn’t opt in to invest the money anywhere and let it sit in the account not building anything

        People can be 2 things. You can be a victim and be a lying, fucking idiot.

          Glad you’re not strangely getting upset over something that has nothing to do with you

              Someone that’s replying multiple times to different conversations in the same thread with name-calling and accusations would be.
              I hope your life gets better.

                Who’s name calling? Who’s replying multiple times?

                You should speak with a professional therapist my man.

                Is the name caller here in the room with you now?

                    Who’s projecting?

                    You have some comprehension issues I think. Go back and read this thread and try to explain why you aren’t unhinged.
