I keep up with most of the dumpster fire that is current US news but I’m sorta lost on this one. I contribute to my 401k every week and have a few thousand saved up, as well as stock in the company I work for. Is all of the bad news referring to the stock market crashing? Is this general across the board or more company-specific? I consider myself decently politically educated but not so much economically.
You just want to log in to your 401k account and take control of where your investments go. You always want to be invested in funds with low expense ratios, like index funds, but you can also pick funds that are invested outside the US. Most of my 403b now is in index funds or low expense ratio funds invested in Europe, Asia, and emerging markets. I just have a bad feeling about the US market for the foreseeable future for some reason
