I don't think you realize how it works. You will never recover a loss in your 401k. The money has disappeared.
My company just reduced retirement contribution/company match from 14% to 2%. I just lost a lot of future money

Needing a truck is 1 thing. Wanting is another.
What percentage of truck owners actually need them? Im going to say less than 50% and probably closer to 25%

They want them to cry about spending less. Strange that the Baws all rubbed it in everyone's face when gas was at giraffe pussy levels.

Sold my 6.2L yesterday. Finally found me a used taco with low low miles.
Looks like I will go from 14.1 mpg to 20.

Nothing any of us can do about it. Just pay attention when election time comes around I guess.

These threads are always filled with WAY more "told you so" posters than oil field sympathizers.
It's amazing how many F250 and truck nut posts there always are by people who aren't affected by the downturn. Are those posts funny to some?
yall are trying to rub it into people's faces who aren't even here

Mine did away with matching once we pass the IRS maximum.
Now, I have to adjust to receive maximum match without going over 18k, or whatever it is this year.

Terd will be happy to hear that. You're saving him money.

I think the last time I paid for Premium at Costco it was $1.73.

Yeah, you never know the premium price until you pull up.

I've made it about 7 pages and haven't really seen anyone bitching. Besides those with retirement accounts that are taking a hit.

Right.. It's just that there aren't any oil jobs available so it's not so easy

These threads are getting fricking annoying. Every day it's the same thread.
