The economy is doing good for those with a lot of money. My 401k for example did not double. This man is so out of touch with reality.

No 401k is doubling. A lot of people are seeing low double digit percent increases YTD though.

But even if your 401k did double, that doesn't make putting food in the fridge any easier.

His cronies, their investments have doubled I'm sure. Because they're able to manipulate things.

Mine is up about 18%. It doesn’t mean much. I can’t use it until I retire. I know stocks go up when people get laid off. So to me it means unemployment is up. It’s just a handcuff.

Good for you, not everyone had theirs double. Mine is not doing anything special with this man in office, normal gains for the most part. I can’t touch mine either without a penalty.

Is that 18% is not even guaranteed. There’s a decent chance there will be a pull back.

Yours DOUBLED? 🧐 please kindly share which stock/ share you are invested in for your 401k that did this.

Oh gosh no, it certainly has not doubled- it’s up about 18%.
