Why I Stopped Funding My 401(k)

After working as an engineer for almost a decade, Matthew started noticing something that did not sit right with him. Many of the engineers and professionals he worked with had been contributing to their 401(k)s for 20, 30, and even 40 years, yet some of them still wondered if they would actually have enough money to retire. That raised a serious question: If the 401(k) is supposed to be the main retirement plan, why are so many people still unsure if it will be enough? In this video, Matthew shares why he personally stopped funding his 401(k), what made him start questioning traditional retirement advice, and why he believes high earners need to think beyond just one retirement account. This is not about saying a 401(k) is bad. It is about understanding what a 401(k) does, what it does not do, and why building wealth requires a bigger blueprint. In this live, we’ll talk about: Why making good income does not automatically create financial security Why a 401(k) may not be a complete retirement strategy The difference between tax-deferred and tax-free Why liquidity, control, and protection matter Why high earners need a wealth blueprint, not just a retirement account If you are an engineer, executive, entrepreneur, or high-income professional who wants to build, protect, and pass on wealth, this conversation will help you start thinking differently.
