[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 5403836, member: 60776"] Not like the old days. Company and employee loyalty is not what it used to be. I try to stick around at jobs for a while if they take care of me; I’ve only worked for 3 employers in the last 24 years, partly because I hate looking for work 😅 As for the 401k question: how far away from retirement are you? I’m (hopefully) 10-12 years away myself and my 401k has a decent value. I also kept the PPA and also started a Roth IRA. Tax diversification for when I do retire. I was fortunate enough to buy my house in the 2007 housing bust so my monthly expenses are slim and that allows me to invest heavily in my IRA/401k. If you have a ways to go, quit looking at your balance, bump up your contributions if you can, and let it grow over time. [/QUOTE]
