News this week that inflation eased more than expected in October solidified the view that the Federal Reserve is done with its most aggressive rate-hike campaign in four decades.

And that could be a boon for the stock market and your 401(k).

    Everyone’s situation is different. I work two jobs and thankfully my wife doesn’t anymore but she was working two jobs. It can be very hard to get ahead sometimes. If your financial situation improves I’d highly recommend looking into retirement savings. $10 a week in a 401k over 45 years gives you over $165k & if you have access to company matching funds that cuts your investment with the same results or doubles your savings. Like I said if you’re able. Maslow’s hierarchy comes first: food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, and sleep (well I sacrifice sleep a lot unfortunately).
