Now please note this is my bias opinion after working with businesses and seeing how 401k’s are structured and where the money goes along with the accumulated growth (or lack thereof) occurs. So take this as you see fit.

Lets dive into the many reasons here.

1. You cant be liquid and obtain your funds whenever you want.

2. You are stuck with stocks, bonds and mutual funds which are dying as the dollar tanks.

3. You are not able to deploy funds into high yielding investments like cryptocurrency or real estate or even gold or precious metals.

4. You’re not able to invest some of it into long term stable growth and highly protected Cash Value Whole Life Insurance policies.

5. You are paying hefty annual fees of 1-4% or more to folks on wall street managing the portfolio they sold to your employer in which you have no say where the funds go. This could be hundreds of thousands of dollars they are taking away from you.

6. When you withdrawl your funds during retirement, you will be taxed as ordinary income making it subject to both state and federal taxes at time of retirement.

7. Today is the highest federal tax rate is only 37% but that has floated as high as 94% (1944). There were also 3 different decades (1950’s, 1960’s and the 1970’s) where the federal tax rate never dipped below 70%. Are you kidding me 70%.

8. Lets not even forget about inflation which is out of the world at the moment as the folks in the whitehouse continue to print money wrecklessly, you wont be able to withstand the 2%-4% annual inflation rate which could be far higher after 2021’s “Covid19 stimulus funding parade”.

9. Lets not forget how 2007 most people LOST 50% of their 401k overnight. Do you want to risk that without any cash flow or additional benefits?

10. Let’sgovernment not forget about the employer match. Did you realize that most employers who don’t have to match a 401(k) who sets limits by the way and most likely get a legal kickback from the fund manager would pay you several dollars higher per hour or per salary? Yes, this is very true, nothing is for free folks this is how they get ya.

11. Federal goverment pulling back on bond buying. This along with the massive deflation in the US dollar has pushed massive investors to start hedging and investing in bigger things like cryptocurrencies that are over $1TRILLION in market cap and growing strong. This has a massive impact on precious stocks, bonds, and mutual funds which will cause them to implode again. The government can only print so much money and keep the bubble alive.

I guess the main question is do you want to lose 50% or even up to 100% of your life savings or do you want to pull it out and put it into things that bring you a much much higher rate of return than a whopping 7.5% if you are lucky?
