johnny asked:


Currently i am contributing to my 401K with very aggressive investments since retirment is still 25+ years away for me.
With all of this talk of a recession, would it be wise to not be so aggressive in my investments for a while?

kiki asked:


I didn’t get anything from my 401k provider, at least not that I know of. Was I supposed to get a 1099 or something?

science boy asked:


I don’t want my mom to work forever and she is an unstable relationship. I want her to have a retirement plan and I am not sure if she can get a decent amount of money to live on by now since she is almost 50. I am in need of all the suggested plans you have. Thank you

rainbowshamrock asked:


Should I bother with a 401k plan? Will the U.S. economy still be intact in twenty years? I mean, our resources are dwindling, peace seems much more fragile than ever, countries come and go (looking at history, how even the most powerful empires are not immortal)… This is a pessimistic perspective, but certainly a real concern of mine. Will I have my retirement money in the next twenty, thirty, or forty years?

missp asked:


I have been an assitant to a financial advisor for 6 months and I am not satisfied with just knowing how to fill out forms and where to send them. I would like to know the meaning behind most of the financial world’s jargon (ETF’s, IRA’s, SIMPLE Plan, etc.) and also how to go about researching stocks. Where would I start? I really don’t have any knowledge of these things besides tid bits I picked up around the office. Any book suggestions for a beginner or any links?
