401K or $401K

Last week on Financial Freedom Fridays, we had a short talk about 401ks and something occured to me.

People would rather say they have a 401K than have $401K put away.

Here's a link to register for our talk tomorrow if you didn't see it:

Think about it.

The average 401K balance is $112K.......

According to a 2023 study, 41% of 401(k) account holders withdraw at least some funds from their accounts when changing jobs instead of completing a rollover into an IRA or new 401(k) plan. The same survey showed most of those cashing out withdraw the entirety of their 401(k) balance.

Here's another narly piece of 401K info:

According to Capitalize, a financial company, around 29 million 401(k) accounts are lost or left behind when workers change jobs, which is about $1.65 trillion in assets.

I ask people about 401Ks from job switches a lot and most TOTALLY forget about that!

Consider this report showing median 401K balances:

According to Empower Personal Dashboard, the median 401(k) balance by age is:

  • 20s: $29,753
  • 30s: $69,718
  • 40s: $151,274
  • 50s: $247,338
  • 60s: $209,382
  • 70s: $103,219
  • 80s: $78,534

This chart of average "Retirement Savings" by age is the reason I started having "IV Audio Meetings" to bring awareness to it. The last three meetings in 2023, and 2024, I know I've invited over "150 people" and only average 6 people showed up between three meetings w/ Roger A. Silvera, LUTCF? FSCP ? CLTC ? I hate to say it Dary, but I'm thinking that some people are just not prioritizing this type of thing for themselves and it's sad! I know I need to step it up! ?? The "POVERTY MINDSET" is real and that is WHY I focused on it all last month. I need to continue that work to shake people out of sleep and realize that they have one and a MINDSET SHIFT and CHANGE is needed!

Great point Daryl Perry II, Bow Tie Guy. I've found that many are unaware their employer-sponsored 401K offers Roth contributions. Thanks for the #insighful post.

    Banks specialize in selling money. Seems like if they do ANYTHING with money, you might want to pay attention to it.
