guys, I have $350,000 in my 401k and I have 10 years before I can take it out. I regularly earn 15-20% on it. if I take early retirement and stop putting money into it, am I really going to have as much as I think I am. I find it hard to believe.

Just call your fucking investment group that's holding your money. They'll explain all your options for taking your money back.

We have literal 50 year old boomers here now. Unbelievable. There's a number of reasons why you should avoid most advice here, the primary one being that mostnof this board is under the age of 35. Depending on where youbsee the market heading you may want to move your 401k money into more conservative funds. This all depends on the options that your employer gives you. What funds do you have available and which ones is yiur money in right now?

10-15% you are earning is mostly fantasy profits made possible by criminally suppressed interest rates and inflation. You are going to be decimated when the market implodes.

If you want to secure your retirement. Take out 50k which isn't that much.... put half into silver and half into gold. Then when the currency crisis/reset happens and the deflationary collapses of all asset prices.... that amounts of gold will be like having a half a million dollars in the year 1940

The general sentiment here is that the economy is going to tank in the next few years and to buy gold/bitcoin, but we're full of doomsday cultists. You're a little old to be risking retirement funds on meme coins. Your retirement funds are going to get absolutely fucking rekt if the economy does tank though. If I were you I would begin moving that money into a 2030 target date fund if you have that available. The closer target date funds get to the target date the more conservative they become and generally focus more on government bonds than stocks. If you do that you won't get nearly the same kind of returns you're getting now but it's risk/reward. If you lose that money now you're going to be fucked come retirement time. I'm 27 and have a much lower net worth than you so just keep in mind who you're getting advice from here.

Remember paper is worthless. Those gains you make are not secure unless you put it in a real store of value and real savings which is gold and silver. Real wealth is gold and silver.

honestly, I have been hearing that for the last 20 years. but I was going to let it ride because I will have an early retirement pension which is twice as much as my monthly bills. I live within my means.

We'll we are in a fist system. And people have to make dollars right? But if you don't have gold and silver when the collapse hits you'll be fucked.

Some people say well why do gold dealers sell gold if its so valuable? Well A. They have to make a living in the fist system and B. If you selling gold you are also buying. And you have lots of inventory. So when the collapse happens those dealers will be sitting pretty

I have about $430K in my 401K, IRA, HSA. It's not enough. And you don't regularly earn 15-20%. 2020 was good. 2019 wasn't. And it's been a long bull market. You could easily lose a ton if a recession hits. How much is your spending per year? Does a SWR of 4% cover your spending if the portfolio drops 50%? Unlikely unless you live in a trailer. So keep working. And yeah, put a small amount in Bitcoin. Besides the 401K, I also have a paid off house because of Bitcoin
