Yep. 401Ks are forced scam upon everyday workers. One does have the choice of opting out of the 401K upon employment. The other bullshit money thing about 401k is why would one want to defer their today tax dollars for higher tax amount in the future.
The whole retirement system went to shit in the mid 80s.

Bottom line though is that people need to wake up and understand all aspects of how money works.

If possible one should try to avoid W2 employment and go with 1099 contact work and put your retirement savings into BTC.
