If you don't fully fund your 401 you are a knucklehead.

If the condom breaks it is the condoms fault. If you do not follow through on a 401k it is the contributors fault.

Yeah not sure I'm following why 401k is bad. Especially if your employer matches...

Talking to my 26 year old cousin is fruitless. His employer matches up to 8% and he doesn't understand why he should contribute

If I had done it right at 26 I would have retired at 50. Timing it out now to retire next year.

Being facetious. Although I know several who really run around saying that despite cush matching.
