401K's not OK with me sometimes

I tell you, the shit I put up with just to get the money for a deposit on a new apt. The company's 401k plan requires that I have at least $2100. in my account, and the way the fucking market is going right now, I have to keep tabs on the fucker to pounce on it when it does.

What ever happened to the good old future building plans that didn't require teeter tottering on the company's damn stock value?

Christ! This all the more makes me wanna deposit my money into the 1st national mattress- namely my own serta perfect on my bed.

Anyone else have problems with their own 401k's if any?

Are you saying a lot of your 401K is stocks in your company? I thought that was a bad idea.
 
Yeah, no shit! I honestly thought the money from me & the money matched from the company that I put in would never change. Looks like I got fooled on this one. Well, not again. I'm looking into other ways to keep it without the company tanking.
 
I lost about 10%-20% of my 401K.

I had SOME faith that the market would come up so I didn't hedge the whole thing into cash reserves. Hell even all the low risk bond funds took a nosedive. Big Mistake. I don't think we have seen the bottom yet so I have hedged what ever was left of my retirement money. I am very pesimistic that the market is going to rally anytime soon.
 
OK, now change it to 401k's now is ok- i just checked yesterday, found the balance to be just what I needed, got a friend at work to help, and the check'll be here with 5 day's time- now all I gotta do is scrape up another $300.00 and I'm golden
