197: Inventor Of 401(k), Ted Benna Joins Us

#197: I dislike 401(k)s. They REDUCE your income. Sound investments INCREASE your income. Most people simply do not realize that there are alternatives to "defined contribution" retirement plans like 401(k)s, 403(b)s, 457s, IRAs, and Canadian RRSPs. Societal belief systems condition you into "Salary Reduction Plans" - which is, in fact, an early name of the 401(k)! The man credited as the "Father" and "Inventor" of the 401(k), Ted Benna, joins us today. He created and gained IRS approval of the first 401(k) savings plan. Even Ted laments that they should be "blown up". They are not serving participants in the way they were intended. Ted & I discuss alternatives to 401(k)s. Personally, I don't invest in 401(k)s. Admittedly, I used to, succumbing to poor financial education and societal conditioning. They're not designed to begin paying you until between age 59.5 and 70.5. That's a "life deferral plan" - awful.

Wounded Warriors of the Cross Gary Pastoral and clergy mental health is a mostly ignored area, especially by those who live their lives as pastors in the clergy. The stigma of mental health within those who serve in the shadow of the cross is something that invokes the stigma of fear. Many of those in the clergy will choose to suffer in their despair rather than reaching out for help. Sometimes those suffering choose to wait until it's too late to get the real help that they need. At Wounded Warriors of the Cross our mission is to lift the stigma and the veil of silence that encompasses clergy mental health and assist those who suffer in silence. Wounded Warriors of the Cross is here to shed the light of Christ's love into those dark places.
