With all of this talk of a recession, does it make sence to leave money in a 401k?

cgster asked:


Suppose you have $20,000 in your 401K. If you are going to lose 20-30% by taking it out, aren’t you better off doing that than losing it all in a recession?

Do think that the President is wrong about us not being in a recession?

Cotton Eye Joe asked:


All these economists beleive that we are heading or are in a recession but the President disagrees. Is he smarter than them or in denial?

We know that we are headed for a recession. The only question is how bad will it be? What do you think?

I think it will be a moderate to deep recession. More likely on the deeper side.

Upset mommy of 2 girls asked:


This is a question for a masters study class. I have a killer sinus infection right now and can’t think clearly, can anyone help, please. The whole question is, in an economic recession, what type of business won’t be as adversely affected as the majority? In an economic boom, what type of business will not prosper as greatly as the majority? Thank you in advance for your help.

Mike asked:


Just curious, I have one more class I’d like to take before I actually go and apply for the job. I have all my credentials but this class I’m taking will definitely help me on the job. Though with this recession I was curious if it will be harder to snag a job as an EMT?

Thanks
Oh and I should also have my Associates Degree in Administration of Justice by the end of the semester as well, if that makes any difference.

Will the Amish Community become immune to the recession?

cici k asked:


I know that some Amish communities are still very traditional..and some have loosened the reigns a bit..will they be affected at all by the recession because of their “simplicity”? Have we all become too dependent on what other can do for us more than we can do for ourselves?

People still making huge purchases in the recession, why?

March 15th, 2009
questioner asked:


I do not understand why so many people are making huge purchases and spending money like it is going to be worthless in the economic recession. I think the better approach is to watch every penny, spend a little extra effort at work and watch your back during these troubling times. The economy is crashing and people need to build their rainy day fund before it gets really bad. While they are working they should be saving not spending. Agree?
