  • In this episode, Rashad Bilal, Troy Millings, and Ian Dunlap discuss the misconceptions and truths about 401K investments and homeownership. Rashad, drawing from his experience as a former financial advisor, sheds light on the importance of responsible conversations about 401Ks and breaks down the myths surrounding their returns. He emphasizes the need for diversification and responsible investing to secure a financial future.
    Rashad dismantles the idea that 401Ks are a scam, highlighting their potential for substantial gains and the benefits of lower tax liabilities. He explains the different investment options within 401Ks, debunking the notion that they provide only a meager 3% return. With insights into Roth 401Ks and the advantages of employer matches, he stresses the role of 401Ks as a valuable investment avenue.
    The trio also tackles the topic of homeownership, exploring the statistics that single women own more homes than single men across all ethnicities. While delving into the societal and economic factors at play, they examine the complexities of financial obligations and the evolving landscape of homeownership. The conversation also touches on the challenges of becoming a homeowner in the current economic climate, posing the question of whether homeownership remains a worthwhile pursuit.
    As the discussion unfolds, the team addresses the need for balanced and rational conversations around these topics, steering away from the divisive gender dynamics and striving for a holistic understanding of the financial landscape. Ian’s candid and sometimes humorous insights add depth to the conversation, ensuring that the dialogue resonates with a wide audience.
    Join Market Mondays as they present a thought-provoking and educational discussion, providing clarity on 401K investments and challenging the traditional narrative surrounding homeownership. Gain valuable insights into responsible financial planning and the evolving dynamics of wealth-building in today’s economic environment.

    Bottom line you don't want to be 65, trying to retire,paying rent every month. You gotta buckle down and buy a home at some point in your life. Property taxes are generally cheaper than rent. I know it sucks to be a first time home buyer today, but you can't rent forever.

    Some 401k's truly do suck and have no or very limited options. However, if those 401k's still provide an employer match... then you NEED to contribute enough to at least get that match. That's FREE money.
    Most 401k's are not that restricted. You will get to choose from a variety of investment options within the 401k.
    The thing that most people really don't understand is that the 401k is just a bucket that holds investments. The 401k is just the defined money bucket with certain tax regulations in place. The 401k itself is not the investment, just the holding account.
    The 401k bucket holds your chosen investments.
    If your returns are low it's because of the investments you have chosen in your 401k, not the fault of the 401k bucket your chosen investment is being held in.
    The reality is that if you take the same specific investment item and place it within 3 different types of accounts... regular brokage, traditional IRA/401k, or roth ira/roth 401k... the investment returns will be exactly the same in all 3 buckets.
    The bucket doesn't change the investment returns, the bucket only really changes the tax treatment of those returns.

    If people are disappointed with the rate of return in their 401K it’s their own fault. You invested your money in the wrong thing inside your 401K or you are not putting enough in to get a big return. I been putting the max in mine for around 10yrs. I just turned 50 and now I am putting the catch-up (additional $7500). So far this year I have made nearly $30K.

    Home ownership is key for several reasons! Specifically, if you make over a certain amount. I am not talking huge money! It’s the only taxable item that can dramatically impact your taxes. The more distance you put between your reported income and your taxable income, the higher likelihood of you not paying taxes or getting a tax return! This is how some people make really BIG money and pay little to no tax - particularly if they are heavy into real estate!

      ​@@arieszonaThis is the biggest thing. Just my opinion, but if you're younger than 35 & self employed.

      Actually when you have a mortgage, you do own the home. The title to the home is literally in your name, and you can obtain a copy of it by going to the local courthouse where your property is located, or sometimes the mortgage banker has a copy of it as well. The mortgage doesn’t mean the bank owns the home, the homeowner does. The mortgage is nothing more than a collateralized loan in which the home itself is the collateral. If anything other than that were true, you wouldn’t be able to sell the home since you have to be the owner in order to sell an asset. As far as 401ks, if your company doesn’t match, then it may not be worth it although you do get tax benefits right now since a 401K is tax deferred.

    But an IUL’s cash value can take 10 years to build up, and there are risks to treating it like a savings account, she says. Those tax-free withdrawals? That only applies to the premium portion of an IUL’s cash value, since those dollars were paid after tax. Anything more than that - for example, if you dip into any earnings - would be subject to income tax.
    If you’re withdrawing from your cash value and the market has declined, it could potentially subtract from your death benefit, Yu says. You might also be required to pay more into your policy to cover any market losses and keep it active.
    And if paying more to keep your policy active coincides with a moment where you’re having cash flow issues, you could face a hard choice. Fernandez warns that if your policy lapses, you could lose your entire investment.

    This reminds me of the student loan debt that is carried by women. Owning a home is more beneficial when two (husband and wife) are involved. It is way more harder to build wealth when one person is financially responsible for the whole load. Buying a home that will cost you almost four times the purchase price is not a flex when there is no future wealth plan involved. This can easily rob you of your future!

      This! Unfortunately I did things so backwards. 35 not married have one son and I'm realizing home ownership seems so far out of my scope. The best thing to do is marry before you carry and obtain home ownership in your early 20s to avoid paying for a home until you're 70+ that's definitely not a flex. I've managed to save and start investing but doing things backwards makes it counterproductive.

      Look at the potential growth from each before you make the move. If you are not going to earn at least 7% in rental payments and equity in your place, do not take money out of your 401k to purchase the property. You could take a loan on your 401k and put a down payment on the rental property. Then, any interest paid on the 401k loan goes back to your portfolio. The only thing you would be out of is the laon processing fee which is minimal on a 401k loan. Let your renters pay your mortgage, insurance and property taxes.

In fact, this entire conversation is contingent on those factors. That’s why the number of people who are not invested in 401(k)s has ballooned up to 48%. People are making less and less money in a world that is becoming more expensive by the year, It’s been a long time since I’ve made 20k or less but one thing I do remember is that after bills and student loans, I barely had enough money for any type of leisure or saving, and It’s even worse now. Most Americans are one missed paycheck or unexpected major bill away from homelessness. The last thing those people are thinking about is a 401(k).

      The IRS comes for everything. No matter what you invest in, the IRS is coming for a share of your profits. Many investment managers want your money as assets under management (AUM) so they can get a cut of your money whether you win or loss on the investment.
      A 401k is one of the better options a person has. 403b plans are not for everyone because only certain employers offer them. You could opt out and invest your money on your own.
