What question can I help answer for the next video like this?
A Professor of Entrepreneurship?
You would think if the government was getting rid of certain account types it would be Roths or HSAs instead of 401Ks. I mean which one do you really think they receive more income from thanks to taxes.
HSAs allow to dodge taxes completely.
Roths they get the tax in the beginning and not later.
or 401Ks where they get the taxes later after the money had time in the market.
I’ve always assumed I will never see a dime of social security or my 401k (I’m 35). I just contribute the minimum to get employer match and invest much more on my own in Roth IRA and brokerage accounts.
There was plans to end Roth IRAs in Biden’s build back better deal but Congress stripped it out at last minute in 2021-2022. I do suspect they will end the Roth before the 401k. If they want the taxes so bad they should lower the age for RMDs instead of raising it every year. It’s 73 now- not to give them any ideas but with a lower rmd age it’s less time to convert your 401k to a Roth. Just my opinion.
Another great video Prof. G! Speaking of 401ks would it be possible to show us how you picked the investments for your 401 or 403b in a video?
can you do a video on roth 401K?? my employer recently offered it as an alternative to traditional
I have been watching your channel for awhile and have really enjoyed your content! I wonder if you were referring to the Biggs and Munnell research which suggested that this subsidy (the 401k) does "little to increase private saving." Essentially, they concluded that the 401k more favors the wealthy.
With rising national debt and ongoing questions on social security solvency, I too have been concerned about the government's fiscal policies going forward and the possibility of a less accommodative saving environment. Raising taxes and 401k changes could both become realities that could dramatically (and negatively) impact so many savers in this country. With these potential changes on the horizon, in addition to a possible lost decade (if you're a technicals guy), a comfortable retirement may become difficult for many of us to reach.
I didn't find this video to be clickbait, rather, I was happy that someone interpreted a potential threat to our collective ability to reach our financial goals. So thank you for this video! Your insight and wisdom is welcomed.
In closing, I wonder if you would do a video on what your asset allocation might look like in the event of a major downturn. Assets rotate to bonds? Precious metals? Dalio portfolio? Wait it out? Might not have dry powder to take advantage of the sale prices if all of our money is in play. How would you prepare? Thanks for your efforts! Keep up the good work!
So, I have retirement money tied into my 401k. My question is: Will my money still be safe if the 401k is gone 10 years later?
What do you think about JEPQ
The libtards will take are only way to invest 💔🇺🇸🙏
Great video Profesor G !
I´m actually considering SMH as option, thanks for your feedack !!!!
Now, my question for you: We are now on the boom for AI and technology so what sector do you think will be the next to get hot ? thanks
regards from Panama !
What are your thoughts on JEPQ?
The rich will never change tax code in a way that would hurt the rich. Everyones 401k's are safe lol. Now if it had a comtribution limit i could see them targeting it. Like Roth IRA i could see getting tossed, but allowing everyone to still use their Roth 401k. This wouldnt be as direct, but indirectly would cause some people to contribute less to their pre tax account.
For example someone who contributes 23k to pre tax and 7k to roth IRA right now might switch to 16k pretax and 7k roth 401k if the roth ira was eliminated. I also think less people have a roth ira so it would affect less people and therefore have a smaller impact.
Dr.G thanks for your videos. I have a large amount of capital gain losses and have a lot of money in CDs and Money market. Having just left my broker, I'm all cash earning 5%. what are your thoughts on BOXX etf for tax savings. thanks in advance
Hi Professor! I have one question for You. Might sound stupid but still. What if AI will start trading automatically … so investing and market itself could collapse ? Or is there any other thoughts how AI will effects on investing world? Thanks
Also thank You for Your content it’s very useful!
The do-away-with-401k talk is about the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Why would any politician want to make it harder for regular people to save money for old age? I thought everything Congress does is for the benefit of older Americans (even at the expense of younger ones). Also, doesn’t Congress just issue debt to pay for things? That’s what they do for wars and other government spending. Taxes mostly go to pay interest on the debt, right? Now that I’ve said it out loud, I think you might be right.

How do I buy FRACTIONAL shares of SCHD?
If the government is getting rid of the 401 K then why is it that starting 2025 they are automatically forcing ppl to have 4% (or 5%) invested in 401K??
I had zero tax advantages investing into IRA – I make too much and don’t qualify for the tax benefits which I was really annoyed by. Maybe I’ll hire a CPA next year
I teach Kindergarten and by watching this channel since only December, I have made 2000 dollars. Not kidding. This channel has perfect titles, information and rhetoric. I even have seen a couple of copycat videos. So…. No stickers for you negative people. I love learning so over my Christmas break I studied and took notes on all Pro G videos. I also learn languages (4) and investing/finance for me was like learning a language. I like risk and live within or below my means. I had a rare illness for 10 years and I couldn’t work. I can’t make that time up- it’s gone. So sound advice means a lot to me. Plus it is fun. I know one can lose a lot…. or gain. Hey Pro G- my kindergarteners know about the stock market. I check it here and there and a student pointed to one of my clipboards and asked,”Is this the stock market?” (I had made a pie chart for my portfolio). Don’t worry, I also teach coding during math! Thanks, Elizabeth from Texas
Hi Nolan love ur videos great information. Thanks What do u think for Roth 1/3 Voo 1/3 schd. And the last third split by Mgk and smh. Also what do u think of round hill mags etf of the magnificent 7. If they r driving most it seems is it a good idea to get those or have enough of those in others like Voo
Is it best to role the funds from the 401k to an ETF. Just to keep your portfolio growing and not worry about the 401k going away
Hey good stuff man keep it up! Big fan 📈🤝

Another click bait advertisement to sell your dividend series. Come on. That is NOT why I subscribed to your channel. One more chance and I am signing off.
Hit 200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in last month 2024…
Hi professor G, in a lot of your videos I see you talking about SCHD and VYM a lot. I was wondering what your thoughts on VIG. Thanks for your videos!
Given S&p 500 been high or at all time high for some time and every day is a new high. Should the amount invested in index fund be reduced for now given if buy now and then fall into lost decade? Hesitant of individual stocks as news changes daily for them given what is happening to some of non so magnificent 7 anymore. Appreciate your work and details.
Great content as always
Can someone working in two different jobs with no overlap in employment periods contribute to both a 401(k) plan and an IRA for each job in 2024? I am single, under 30, and earned income well below income limitations for IRA contribution limits. I will work six months in one job and 2nd six in another. I follow three fund strategies: VTI, QQQM, and DGRO. Thanks for your youtube contribution.
There are a lot of different articles talking about the average 401K by age. The average tenure with the same company has also gone down. When I change jobs I roll my 401K into my Roth IRA. So the data taken from me for my 401K is less than my Roth IRA. Doesn’t this data screw the results?
Another youtuber with a course. Unsubbed.
Regarding Q.3 and eliminating the 401k, I kind of think this is all bluster. I work for the single biggest employer in the country, the US Government. While they do not have a 401k, they do have a Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is essentially the same thing. I think the various unions that represent federal and state workers would pressure Congress to prevent them from eliminating 401k's, TSP's, and 403b plans. Too many federal, state and local government employees (including public school teachers) are in these plans. There are many in the plans who have accumulated over $1 million as well. These plans are often run by large investment companies such as BlackRock (manages the TSP), T. Row Price, Fidelity, Vanguard, et al. These companies would be affected and they have lobbyists in Congress. I think the biggest problem with the 401k and other defined contribution plans is education. Not enough people are educated about investing for their future so many people may not take advantage of the opportunity. Quite frankly, I think life skill courses should be mandated in high school where they teach you investing (including retirement savings), banking and paying taxes. If this can be implemented then I think defined contribution plans would be safe for the foreseeable future and savings rates would most-likely increase, especially among early 20 somethings just out of college or trade school.
If the 401k really goes away, then a deferred annuity may be a better option for companies to offer employees. If they leave the company, the annuity should go with the employee so they can keep on contributing to it over time. When they retire then they have income for life plus Social Security. I say this when I actually hate annuities and insurance companies. The Roth 401k is amazing but so many people don't realize the benefit and don't take advantage of it. As crazy as that is. They just don't understand. Amazing channel. Thank you for posting.
Very nice shirts! What brand do you wear?
It's just a proposal. If the government does take away the tax deductions for the 401(k) or IRA that will not phase me. With the Roth I pay the taxes up front and withdraw the money tax free in retirement.
The government is not going to get rid of the Roth 401(k) or the Roth IRA
Finance and investing should be required teaching in middle to high school.
This global collapse might end up being a part of us for a very long time. With inflation currently at about 9%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
What's your opinion on annuities?
