 Has anyone here stopped contributing to their 401k out of moral obligation? My conscience is telling me to stop supporting the  corporatocracy but it’s a difficult decision to make.

 I did two years ago. Haven’t put a penny in since.

 My respects to you brother. Needed to hear this, iron sharpens iron. I’ll step up and do the same.

 Stopped?  No.  Reduced? Yes.  I now contribute only what is matched.  I put the rest of what I was putting into a 401k into BTC.

 I limited my contributions to only what is matched a few years ago as well. But given where the money goes, I’m having a hard time justifying the returns when it doesn’t seem like I’m truly loving my neighbor through it.
