Episode 7 - What if the Government Abolished Your 401K?

The Financial Quarterback® Podcast with Josh Jalinski

What impact could abolishing your 401K have on your retirement savings? Josh takes a look at the contentious debate over 401K plans and their future in retirement planning. He delves into a controversial proposal suggesting the elimination of tax advantages for 401K plans to enhance Social Security funding by economist Alicia Munnell and Andrew Biggs, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. With a critical eye, he explores the implications of such changes on middle-class savers and dissects their presented arguments. Then, Josh shines a light on the inflation of cereal prices, offering insights into consumer behavior and market trends in the face of rising costs.
