    You can put however much you want in. Max is like 22k a year. You’re probably thinking match, ya basically no company will match 15%.

    That’d be too close to a pension fund or something reasonable. We can’t have that. The boomers said those were bad, raegonomics are good. Fuck pensions and unions.

      Unions, blegh.

      I was forced into a union at my job, and it’s horrible. We get tons of time off, full benefits, protection from our employers when they try to violate the contract or do something illegal, and great pay. I’m currently set to retire at 55 years old, with over $10,000 a month income between my pension and 457b.

      I mean, what the hell is my $100 a month in union dues doing for me!?

        That was me 16 years ago. I was so used to “work hard play hard” that I butted off with the union. They sent goons to intimidate me in the toilet, telling me to stop trying to beat records. I hated unions for years after that. Now, I see why they can be good, necessary even but I’m still kinda scared of them.

            Yeah, I was commenting on how I used to think that the benefits of unions weren’t worth the trouble. Now I know better. Still scared of goons, but I know better.
