Americans’ 401(k) balances hit record levels last year.

The FACT is that right now, the current 4.5% spike in inflation that incited your faux outrage, is still much lower that the average of 5% under Biden.

Biden caused inflation to spike to 9%, and you're OK with that, it's just the 4.5% spike you've got a problem with.

Not only do you consistently lie through omission, you also have that low-educated/low-info habit of weirdos who consistently take everything out of a context in order to make black into white, and white into gray.

Obvious projection.

Quit talking about yourself.

 

[jacksonlamb]

That's your disinformed opinion, not a fact. You're just too stupid to understand the difference.

That is only, like, man, your misinformed opinion.

Contextualize the terms' events and learn the truth.

Oh, it is obvious that Dante is talking about and correcting you.

Biden got it down to 3% and Trump yet again got it up 150% to 4.5.

The majority of 401(k) assets are invested in stocks, which made 2025 a very good year for most workplace retirement savers, according to Vanguard’s latest “How America Saves” report, a landmark study now in its 25th year.

Average balances hit record levels, up nearly $20,000 over the previous year to $167,970. Median balances, which perhaps reflect a more accurate picture of savings because they are not skewed by a small number of high earners, also saw a nice boost, up almost $6,000 to $44,115.


But, but, but, Orange Man Bad. It’s inconceivable!

Never fear, soon the dems will be taxing those unrealized gains on a quarterly basis.

Hey, it's for the "greater good".

Click bait. Stock market grows 7% a year so nearly every year is a record high. You guys crack me up.

The real issue is how few Americans have enough to retire these days. 42% are on track with 58% screwed.

More like they screwed themselves. I mean you have to be a complete idiot not to invest in yourself.

Sure, that might mean making short term sacrifices but you either make them or suffer the consequences down the road.

Those that chose not to plan for retirement I have little sympathy for.

Yea 60% of American are morons. Go with that.

Just the dem contingent.

Weak sauce. Red states are in the worst shape.

That's a stupid lie.

Look at Janaury 2025 and May 2026.

It means we all as a people can do more to help those who need it.

I don't care about them no matter where they live.....I did fine starting off with nothing but a work ethic.

Nobody ever said life was fair for stupid people that don't plan ahead.

 

[Muhammed]

You are cherry picking.

Under Biden inflation averaged 5% and peaked at 9%

Now you are bitching about 4.2% spike.

You said that, not him.

I am being historical, not cherry-picking. Even if it only 4.2, it is a 120% increase because of Trump's yet once-again mismanagement of the national economy.

 

[Muhammed]

You lie.

You picked 2 month of data. I used all the relevant data.

Biden was president for 48 months, and you picked out 1 month out of 48 for scrutiny while ignoring the other 47 months when inflation was much higher.

Trump has been president for 65 months, and you picked 1 month and totally ignored the other 64 months when inflation was lower.

That's a textbook example of cherry picking.

I picked the beginning and an end progression to show the steady increase of GOPP inflation.

You tried to do that, but all you accomplished was to highlight what a hugely superior president Trump is compared to Biden.
