President Trump Tweets There Will Be NO Change To Your 401(k)!
IWB, Oct 23, 2017, Ruby Henley

<snip>

I am happy to report today President Trump just tweeted there will be NO change to the 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan in his Tax Reform. 

“There will be NO change to your 401(k). This has always been a great and popular middle class tax break that works, and it stays!”

The reported reduction in the 401(k) maximum deferral is not happening.

Another thing in the plus column.

Well I hope so, or this could be as big as "Read my lips: no new taxes", "If you like the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor, too."

He maybe leaving 401k alone for now, but if the rumors and articles are true, Seniors will be one group that's going to get hit.  My husband and I are just entering our retirement years ... we've paid into the system all of our lives ... and now that we need to adjust to a fixed income, it looks like we have yet another financial roadblock.  Heck, at this point, why even retire?  Except for the fact, that Uncle Sam has taken $$ out of our checks every single payday for over 45 years!  Also needs to be addressed is this little note from SSA; the law governing benefit amounts may change because, by 2034, the payroll taxes collected will be enough to pay only about 79% of scheduled benefits!!  WTF?  45 years into the system and now we can only collect full benefits for 17 years??
