  The problem with 401K is that it is impossible to sell courses on investing in it.

  If the phrase "leveraged life insurance" doesn't make you cringe you're probably an insurance salesman.

  Did you notice one of the guys saying 401K's are bad is Robert Kiyosaki,  Mr. Rich Dad, Poor Dad. That guy is a sham. Makes all his money with his scam courses.

  "If you're not rich yet, you're doing it wrong."  The classic message of the fake guru who is out to push you to buy their useless, overpriced course by making you feel like a loser.

  Influencers love nothing more than to hate on 9-5s but usually end up doing substantially more work through the endless side hustles that are supposedly "passive" income. Almost nothing is truly passive income unless you are earning bank interest or have investment returns. And the side hustles they promote are usually scams.

  If I had a 20-something son who told the internet with his whole chest "$200k is chump change" I would assume I raised him wrong 😂

  The problem with a 401k is that I don’t think I could run that far.

  The funny part is that at 20 years old, you could start at $100 a month, increase 10% per year and have well over 2 million at retirement. You could still go on vacation, do the concerts, buy all the crazy stuff you want, and so long as you don't create some insanely massive debt hole you'll be fine in the end. lol

  Watching these guys as a 40 year old dad, thinking about how my dad used to sit around listening to Bob Brinkers money talk on road trips. <br><br>Slowly realizing i&apos;m becoming my dad. <br><br>That said, my dad is retired and very comfortable now. WORSE WAYS TO BE OUT HERE.

  It&apos;s almost like none of these people work a typical 9-5 and don&apos;t have workplace sponsored 401K&apos;s with a match.......

  Just remember that the reason they use “working a 9 to 5” as their buzzword is because it’s associated with the reality and fear of growing up.<br><br>That’s why “do nothing, make money” sounds great because it lets these kids think it’s possible to avoid growing up. It’s a phase that every person goes through in their late-teens/early-20’s, so it needs to be approached with compassion.
