In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris breaks down the good, the bad, and the stupid of what’s happening with Americans’ 401ks. Yes, more people are saving—but a record number are also raiding their retirement early, racking up penalties and taxes in the process.
 Here’s what you’ll hear:
  • Why hardship withdrawals are skyrocketing—and why it’s a terrible idea
  • The dumbest thing you can do when leaving a job
  • Why pulling cash from your 401k is like burning money in your backyard
  • How to build real wealth without living like a monk
  • And the one mindset shift that can help you save smarter, not harder
 Saving should be sustainable. If it’s not, you’re doing it wrong.
