Am I retarded or are 401ks fucking dumb as hell?
>muh saving on taxable income
Bitch, you don't save shit. You still have to pay taxes when you withdraw and you have no way to know if the tax rates won't be higher than they are now. The way things are going, I'm gonna guess that they'll be higher. Might as well just pay up now, throw your money into a brokerage and pay long-term gains that are flat rate anyway.
>muh employer match
Okay so for every dollar you put into a 401k, your employer puts on in too? Nigga that just means that your salary is that much lower...So no change there.
Also, in some 401ks you can't control what they buy so you're gonna lose your ass to high fees and less growth than if you just funded a taxable account by yourself.
401ks have got to be the biggest scam I've ever seen. They are designed to prey on the worker that sees, "tax free" and immediately signs up.

Yeah. It's like an ISA for Brits. Not sure what Euros get. Basically, you put money in and your employer (maybe) matches it up to a point and then it can grow tax-free until retirement age that is currently 59.5 (subject to change any time). It's designed to go along with social security to help you retire. But it seems dumb as hell to me. You give up control and you postpone your access to your money until you're already nearly dead.

You put pre-tax income into SIPPs and 401(k)s, pay no tax on the gains and pay income tax when you withdraw in retirement.

They wipe out one side of taxes. That’s a pretty big deal considering tax eats like 25 percent of your pay. You pay taxes when you take it out? What do you think would have happened if you had it in a TAXABLE brokerage account, you think you aren’t paying taxes when you withdraw?

The Roth it great, pay the taxes now and when you retire it’s all tax free. Or you could use a regular brokerage account. Pay taxes now and when you take out the money pay more taxes. Big difference

>> No.55314698

Employer match: you always take it, it's free money

Otherwise, they are of limited use unless you're dead set on leaving it in there until age 65. Personally I think the goal should be early retirement, more like age 50.

401ks save you money on current income taxes. Roth IRA save you money on later capital gains taxes.

If you plan on withdrawing more per annum in retirement than you earn now, you go Roth. Otherwise you go 401k. But they're both forms of locking your money in and I don't trust the government will keep them so advantaged forever as our culture gets more desperate and niggardly.

Retard, you don’t pay money on capital gains in a retirement account, so you do save on taxes overall. Count the number of times you get taxed in a normal investment account, it’s twice. Once when you earn the money, then again once you sell the investment you bought w/ it. Now count the number of times you get taxes on a retirement account, only once. And most people will be in a lower bracket when they retire even if you meme about muh democraps muh socialism in the future. If you work for a shitty company with a crap 401k plan then sure, they suck. Most decent companies have fidelity or vanguard with low fee investment options, and if you really want to be a gambling degenerate and pick stocks instead of buying index funds, nothing is stopping you from rolling over your 401k funds into a self directed IRA at a brokerage. I rolled my first 401k over into an IRA at Schwab and I hold a few thousand dollars in GBTC.

>> No.55315263

I hate 401k's too but your reasoning is honestly shit.

The value of your 401k is predicated on 3 things:
> The health of the stock market
> How much you contribute each year
> Your employer match

Literally the only good thing about 401k's is the employer match. As we can see with the state of the stock market, if you have a bad 401k program, inflation will far outpace any gains you make, so that already makes your "retirement savings" nearly worthless. Secondly, we have the extremely gay rules about how much you're allowed to contribute to a 401k each year (sorry high income fags, you can't game the system). Double whammy right there.

If you have a decent employer match, and IF YOU'RE WILLING TO WORK UNTIL 59, then yes a 401k is solid.

Otherwise, don't bother with 401k's. Don't contribute to BlackRock's ultimate ponzi scheme where they can gobble up midwits' funds and buy up real estate everywhere to prop up their indexes and then they go, "see? we are a reliable retirement fund! value goes up!"

There’s no reason to raise 401k withdrawal age, it’s not like SS where there’s a shared pot of money that is in danger of being depleted. Your money is your money. And even if you retire early you will still benefit from a 401k because chances are you’ll live to 59.5, you just need another pot of money to act as a bridge to retirement age. Paying long term capital gains is still going to be worse than having it in a pre tax 401k because you already paid income tax on the money in a brokerage acct. Also the higher your bracket the better a 401k becomes, if you make enough to be in the 35% or whatever then you’ll benefit from deferring taxes. Not to mention I get a free $11,250 match this year from contributing $22,500

OP is partially right, 401ks are bullshit. Its a tax punishment to not put your retirement assets in a heavily managed and feed account, where are like multiple levels of middlemen taking fees off you.

But the question is, should you max your 401k? Yeah, probably. Its still better for you to get the tax incentive even if you're getting completely cucked and controlled by 401k providers. That's whats so shitty about it. It would be far better just to have less overall taxes than have to cuck yourself with a 401k provider.

Now if you're rich enough you can create an LLC, managed by yourself, then have your IRA own it, then roll your 401k over into it and complete control over your assets but this will cost $1k/year at least. But even then you still can do stuff like buy gold coins, fine art, or custody anything yourself, like you can't self custody crypto, There's all these stupid restrictions because the intent of gov retirement accounts is to turn the public markets into a generational ponzi to replace pensions which were more obviously unsustainable.

Also and this is probably the biggest reason, most of /biz/ are poorfag wagecucks who only have a few hundred dollars to invest each month at most. If you only have a small amount of money to invest in index funds then you’re never going to have enough to retire, doing a 4x or 8x over the course of a few decades isn’t good enough when you can only save $100 a month. If you’re a brokefag I guess it makes more sense to chase higher returns even when those returns come with great risk and the statistics aren’t on your side, you hope that you’ll be one of the lucky ones to cash out at the top before everyone else gets rugged. When you make a lot of money and can stack thousands every month then investing in the S&P becomes more comfy.

You get taxed at marginal income rates when you withdraw. The gov under-reports inflation intentionally to cause tax-bracket creep, where top tax rates creep downward on smaller real income despite being higher nominally. 401k shelters growth which is advantageous, but think about every time Biden says he won't tax anyone making under $400k yearly. Eventually $400k will be "median". Just like how $4k used to be median. Our real tax rates on marginal ordinary income will be exorbant, and Required Minimal Withdrawls force you into higher tax brackets than if you took your money upfront, invested, and lived off dividends tax at long term cap gains. You are FORCED to sell with 401ks & trad IRAs due to RMDs. Roth 401k/IRAs are superior in this system of tax bracket creep.

As a small example, consider that Social Security payments and exemptions were only upped 8% for 2022, but tangible cost of living was up 15%. They took a real paycut and tax increase.

The delta between rate of true inflation and rate of reported inflation is the silent ordinary income tax harvester.

You will probably have lower income when you withdraw and so you will pay lower income taxes. Also your assumption that taxes will be higher may not be correct. 401k allows you to put away money and not pay taxes on it. Other options require you to pay the tax now and they claim it will be tax free later but who knows what really will happen later. The best option is probably to avoid paying any taxes as long as you legally can do so by using a 401k and supplement that with other savings options.

Not necessarily. Second-world countries (e.g. Poland, Argentina) have confiscated private pensions in particular without taking people's houses. It's obviously more palatable for normies to have money they they'd get in 25 years vanish instead of assets they have now.

No one does this. Every time any currency collapses, everyone holds through it. Very few people can conceive of their local currency losing 90% of its value in a month. It's obvious if you just count the number of new dollars being printed, but hardly anyone does that research.

Lack of research is the fundamental problem with a 401k. What are the odds that the price of bitcoin goes up by 8% over the next year? It's as close to certain as you can get in life. Why would you take on the extra risk of third party custody for an ROI of 8% when you could just buy bitcoin?

This! Folks, physical silver is the onyl investment worth putting money in. Every time you buy physical silver you are protesting the globalist agenda and showing your loyalty to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Almighty.

a roth 401k deducts taxes now instead of later
but most people are in lower tax brackets when they're retired than working, so it's debatable whether a roth 401k is actually better than a trad 401k for most people
i do traditional 401k and roth ira to balance it out
leaving the employer match on the table is peak retard

Bagging BTC would always be a based decision anon, especially with its next halving closing in. I'd also add low cap gems to the list like Flux, Sylo and Kas which I could stake for passive income.

If your employer matches then take it up to the match, beyond that it's a meme. Funniest part is that when you withdraw it's taxed as ordinary income rather than long term cap gains, despite holding it for 20+years lmao

Oh and once you're a certain age you have to withdraw a certain amount every month and pay taxes, even if you don't want to

>Second-world countries (e.g. Poland, Argentina) have confiscated private pensions
damn i just read some articles about what the poles did and its crazy that a nominally capitalist country could do that to game their debt/ gdp numbers
argentina its expected i guess, the only way to avoid confiscation in that shithole is crypto

Does a 401K even reliably beat inflation? Obviously any returns would beat cash but Google tells me 401K balances dropped 20% in 2022.

401k is just an account you invest in mutual funds usually ex sp500 fund or gov bond fund

And? I fail to see how that answers my question. If your returns don’t beat inflation, then you’re still losing money. You’re just losing less than you would otherwise.

>Okay so for every dollar you put into a 401k, your employer puts on in too? Nigga that just means that your salary is that much lower
Never change biz. It baffles me that some people actually take the advice they receive on this board. They are probably the same people who cry for their money back after the latest scam coin ponzi scheme goes bust. The day the bitcoin ponzi finally fails is going to be epic

This or a target retirement date fund. Heavy on stocks when you’re young, becomes heavier on bonds as you approach retirement age. Average of 5% annually over a few decades is typical. So in normal times it beats inflation but not the past couple years

Okay. What would be a good strategy if you're a US citizen living outside the US and disqualified from any retirement funds. Also can't invest in foreign retirement accounts because of PFIC laws and Obama. Debatable good news is that short and long term capital gains are both flat 20% and not affected by income tax brackets.

I just signed up for my first 401k plan at 22 because this was the first job I thought I would stick with for more than a year. It's been a month and I'm about to quit, so what should I do with my 401k after this?

dumbfuck probably has the same mindset as OP and transferred his 401k to a trad ira and now cant do that without a tax bomb
