Bad news for Sugar Bowl tix
Hardship 401 withdrawals are through the roof. That's ok- it will lead to a glut of houses on the market once folks can't bleed anymore and they have to sell.
If I'm Trump on Thursday,
i point to this one stat and let Biden mumble through his explanation.
But of course we know moderators are only going to be interested in Jan 6th- because that's what's keeping them from paying their bills.

Fewer than 4% of savers took a hardship withdrawal.
The sky is falling, of course.

And they should’ve invested in Nvidia
-
The number of hardship withdrawals per 1,000 savers soared about 40% last year and have doubled since 2021, Vanguard reports. And the main reason people were raiding their retirement accounts was to avoid losing their home.
What a bunch of losers-F'em. We got our already, let them sleep in the street.

It’s weird you identify specifics for him to focus on for strategy when you’re going to declare him the winner either way.

And contributing reasons for the increase are listed in the article. You should have read it.

This response has nothing to do with what you quoted.
Is it that complex and nuanced?

Rising numbers of Americans are making emergency "hardship withdrawals" from their 40(k) plans to avoid eviction or foreclosure, new data reveal.
The data, from investment and retirement giant Vanguard, raise new fears about the looming retirement crisis facing millions-and about just how widespread the current "economic boom" really is.
The number of hardship withdrawals per 1,000 savers soared about 40% last year and have doubled since 2021, Vanguard reports.
And the main reason people were raiding their retirement accounts was to avoid losing their home. "In 2023, 39% of hardship withdrawals were used to avoid a home foreclosure or eviction, up from 31% of withdrawals two years earlier," Vanguard reports.
And the hammer right here-
Legislation in 2019 eased restrictions around hardship withdrawals, making it slightly easier for retirement plan participants to take them
Imagine- being able to face a less severe penalty to access your money so you don't lose your home.
That's deplorable!

You miss the part about more of the poors having retirement accounts than in the past? The poors tend to have money issues for some reason. At least now they have 409k accounts.
-
Didn’t miss it, not important. Great thing that more people have access to 401k. It sucks when they have to take a withdrawal to keep up with housing and groceries. Again, stinks to be poor. I know- I was there.
Please run with the campaign that higher fuel and groceries are only issues for the little people. Should work well in middle America.
But the cumulative effect of these annual withdrawals will add up over time, and will make worse what looks like a looming divide between those who have enough for retirement and those who don't. According to the most recent Federal Reserve triennial Survey of Consumer Finances, the poorest 25% of the country-which works out at about 32 million households-have median "total financial assets" of just $1,600

yea, probably no relationship between low income and hardship
-
Embracing corporatism, warmongering, and saying “fuck the poor” is a turn I don’t see Leftists taking as their party veered suddenly to fascism, elitism, and classism.
-
Definite relationship between leftist rule and more and more poor people every day
Vote for Biden
-
Joe Biden is a big leftist.
sure

Keystone XL pipeline and fracking. All to help the American middle class shutdown by Team dazzler because?

Flammable tap water is underrated, said Gasbag.

Was a fraud. They drill way below the water table. You should have taken a science class or two. Leftards lie and love to be lied to.

Yeah he is
A fucking freak show too
Imagine voting for him

HuskyCuck wrong again…

Thats not what my numbers tell me. Median Net worth in December 2019 was $141,000 which after inflation has the same buying power as 162,850 today. Actual median net worth in 2022 was 192,700. So the median net worth grew by around 20% by 2022? Thats pretty good.
Furthermore that graph above there is bowlshit. My net worth actually shrank between 2020 and 2021 thanks to Covid. I really doubt anyone increased their net worth, lmao.

That's because they are fake numbers
Hope this helps
