This episode reveals the surprising origins of the 401(k) as a supplementary savings option that unexpectedly became America's primary retirement vehicle. We examine how the shift from pension plans to 401(k)s fundamentally changed retirement planning, and explore the hidden costs and limitations of these accounts. The discussion includes analysis of alternative retirement strategies and why traditional 401(k) advice might be outdated for modern workers.
