I keep up with most of the dumpster fire that is current US news but I’m sorta lost on this one. I contribute to my 401k every week and have a few thousand saved up, as well as stock in the company I work for. Is all of the bad news referring to the stock market crashing? Is this general across the board or more company-specific? I consider myself decently politically educated but not so much economically.
How long until you retire? If you’ve still got another thirty to forty years of wage slavery ahead of you then don’t worry about it. Just keep contributing and make sure to get all of your employer’s match, if any.
