Had two great and very close friends die of cancer in the last month. Watched them suffer daily over the last year. Their 401k balance didn’t seem to help?🤷🏻‍♂️

SM2. Did your friends have family members that they support. I think 401k can be an “insurance” for dependents.

IMO, 401k is useful for retirement or “insurance” left for dependent/heir.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
