Definitely some form of financial illiteracy which is certainly unfortunate but not to the detriment of all 401ks

it kinda is in that 401ks should not allow that pro job / anti worker bullshit

it’s crazy how we as a society allow all that obvious gatcha type rules just to help rich fucks get richer

depends on what part you are upset with

stock selection, interest, market fluctuation, vestment dates or withdrawal age

you’re being so purposely obtuse no one has any idea what you are complaining over
