My last few years I stopped letting it ride so to speak and let them take over and the stress left. It is somwhat of a crapshoot but you dont go to court without a lawyer also you can call with any questions instead of asking your bro-in-law for advice unless he is in that field-give them a call, good luck to ya

Pick one of their plans that has a good long term record and leave it there. Forget it exists.

I got in the managed plan a few years back and am very happy with the results, like you I know very little about the market. Just got my statement and I'm up 18% for the year.

anyone who has an 401k open right now is plane stupid.
Change your contribution to 0% til that ⓇⒶⒸⒾⓈⓉ ash wipe gets out of office.
I changed my 401k to 0% and have not lost a penny! I got my own brokerage account. You gotta know when to buy and sell and read in between the lines of ⓇⒶⒸⒾⓈⓉ Obama.
