    For an emergecy deal I understand what you are " trying" to do .But- locking in or not- tax laws and other govt rulings change and there is much better than life insuranse . 401s are another terrible investment . Trust me folks - I have seen the 401s tank and will do it again . 401s came to play when ppl thought that a company should pay a retirement . 401 s are set up for the EMPLOYER -NOT the EMPLOYEE .Smart ppl lower their standard of living and SAVE 20-30 % of their net income . If u start this young- you cant imagine how much you will be worth at age 45-50 with the roll up .You guys ( most ) are going to see your working life change over and over and the best thing to do is adjust . Most folks end up cashing in at 50 % or less (401s) and getting further behind . Most ppl my age are living on their SS and maybe a small retrement of less that 1K per month . The truth being that you need MORE when u retire -NO LESS .Unless u want to live like bums in your " Golden Years" Finance as little as possibe - and SAVE - do not SPEND . When u get older this will allow u to take vacays and do things for yourself and family beyond what u can imagine ..Do things like your own home and auto repairs . Just trying to give u guys a bit of wisdom - so I will STFU now -sorry for rant -OD ( Pops)
    I didn't even think it was a rant brother! It's good to have conversations like this because too many young people aren't repaired for the future! SS isn't even gonna be around for most of us when we get there. You gotta save and you gotta put your money's in more than one place. Hey OD if you don't mind elaborating on what type of investments you would feel safe making I'd love to hear it. Or opportunities... Hint hint haha

      I am not a pro advisor- but things like municipal bonds etc . Play your cards close to your chest and diversify . Stay away from real estate and such . If u do go in that direction get a real fixer upper and DO YOUR OWN WORK .If u get with a pro advisor and tell him this srategy -he/she will know what u need . Keep a list - journal - log of where you are at today - next week -next month and in a year .Most of you guys are goal oriented - so u know what I am talking about . Treat your investments like a cycle- if u aint getting gains - SWITCH IT UP !! NOW - RIGHT NOW is a great time to start - trust me on this guys -OK -now I'll shut up lol-Maybe -Thanks Pops
