Screwed in what way? Traditionally the company has paid out the last paycheck before the Christmas holiday and they didn't do that this year, meaning some lost their "already paid the max social security" bonus. But I wouldn't consider that to rise to the level of "screwed." Anything else funny on your paycheck?
my withholding was changed to 0 single without my approval, and no payment was made against one 401k loan. I'm shocked that no one else is irate
It really doesn't matter much as to the withholding amount as it all settles out at tax time. As for the 401K loan, I agree with the other person in that you are an idiot for taking out a 401K loan.
gray hair here retired...agree, but 20 years ago after a divorce...I did to buy a house and repaid it within 90 days.....today the house is worth 4 times what I paid for it !
No, when the stock market is at a record high it is usually an excellent time to borrow from the 401K, especially given the paucity of investment options available within the plan. That way you lock in the earnings tax free, and you pay yourself back the interest.
#7 ............anyone who purchased a house 20 years ago in a decent area has increased value.....if you move out of your apartment or mom's basement and man-up, take the leap to ownership, maybe you will see..............but with your attitude I doubt anything good will happen in your life.
Mine was only a question to find out what deductions were messed up. It turns out only a small percentage of US employees have reported the issue and some of us were hit hard. Taxes do come out even in the end, but it's not my thing to loan the US my money interest free, As to the opinions on loans, financial decisions are personal (and I'm doing fine by the way), so you should keep yours to yourself
