After listening to how there might be a bail-in or how pensions/401-ks may be forced to buy T-bills, I shifted my retirement savings approach. I reduced my contribution into the 401-k is only enough to qualify for the full company match. The extra (non-tax free) portion I save through different vehicles like silver. Even though the portion is taxed, I do not allow more to go out of my control than serves a purpose. My employer's plan allows for 401-k loans. It is a way to withdraw money without incurring a penalty. And you pay back your 401-k with a small interest rate. I have only done a loan once.
You have the right perspective...Put God first. Everything else will follow.
I suggest you pray about it, then move forward. There are options, but you will need to do what is right for you and your family.
