Do you see the change?
I will treat you if you're the one who spotted it with Hobi's sign
*j-hope's signed CD* *Tada~~*
Finance a la shmoop... what is a 401k plan? okay say it with me tax deferred savings
that's it it's really not all that complex for the fancy numbers there all [Complex formula scribbles]
right well when you make money at work you get to defer the tax that you'll pay
on your income or earnings to be paid much later in life and you get to invest
that dough and let it ride tax-free until you take it out of your 401k plan [Money coming out of deferred savings piggy bank]
brokerage account and then at that point well you'll pay ordinary income tax on
your gains well the 401k was a part of the tax code
that was put into motion in the 1980s as the government began to painfully
realize that Social Security wasn't all that secure and that a whole generation
of people who had paid money into Social Security wouldn't get anything back so [People protesting outside the white house]
the government opened the door and made it easy or at least easier for the semi

workforce working away there toiling in the IBM salt mines for 35 years
then retiring at 60 and having smoked a lot dying at age 65 and then that was
all she wrote well that was then this is now it's a different era different
financial pressures so companies don't generally offer pensions today and they
don't generally manage them themselves because the cost of buying real talent
like people who consistently beat the stock market in good times and
bad managing that 401k money is astronomically expensive and generally [Boxing gloves punching the stock market]
speaking corporations can't afford to pay those people nine times whatever
the CEO makes so companies generally contribute some amount of money to a
401k and then they leave it up to the employees to figure out how they want to
invest their retirement savings on their own and that's a good thing most of the
time and you know hopefully it's there when they want to go take it out and
they need the money when they're old and decrepit like like I'm getting...
