Without training we’re expected to guess what will happen in the economy for the next 40 years until we retire. Our crystal ball algorithms are still in the beta phase, but until then here is some logic to making easier choices for your 401(k).
When you finally start pulling in some money, investing in your retirement may seem like the last thing you want to put it towards.
