 I feel like most people don’t even know what’s actually in their retirement accounts. What’s the point of having a 401k or a Roth IRA if you don’t even know what’s in it 
 Sometimes it's better like that, The amount of government intervention in the province I reside, allowing people to raid this piggy bank to keep the real estate Ponzi going is astounding. Just remember the banks have so much exposure to real estate, The raiding of these, in a sly roundabout way is an inevitability to keep the banking system afloat. 
 To assist the ponzi scheme... Can't take it out until 65 and have the employer incentivize with matching so we can gave fresh cash flow to pay off the last "investor"  
 When I had a 401k I was like what are these funds. Then I eventually rolled it over to a Roth IRA so I could self manage it then I sold all that stuff for Sats 
 Yeah it’s like wow I’m invested in the companies profiting off war and vaccines, paying expense ratio fees, just to still underperform Bitcoin
