  • The 401k offloads the duty of the company to ensure the pension is solvent to another company.

    The other company is a for profit company that intends to make money off of you, but they also take fees so even if they lose your money they get the fees. It’s a relatively no loose for them while you could lose everything.

    All in a vehicle not tied to the original business where the original business can say oh nooooooo so sorry

    It has the benefit of portability but tbh unless you are already “well off” and making enough to live comfortably you are not likely to be able to contribute to your 401k at a level that will afford you a retirement.
