Local naive man Collin Blakeman blissfully contributed savings to his 401(k) despite the fact there is no future in which he will be able to use them.

      If you tried to use it in like 2009 then ya. But if you kept it until now it would be doing great.

        Obviously it’s doing “great”. That’s why I’m saying what im saying… Seriously? 2009?

          If you’re saying you’re that 1 out of 10, then you made it sound like you lost money. Now you say your 401k is doing great? I’m sorry, I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make.

          And yes, 09 was a shit show for 401ks/market value.
