Once again, this is a lot to take in, so thank you.

A related, possibly dumb but very honest question, are 401ks safe? I ask, because everyone in the working generation before me thought pensions were safe, but a lot of my friends parents who had pensions saw them cut or disappear altogether because companies made poor decisions, were less than honest about their financial situations, or even plain old "we're merging/restructuring/whatever and your pension is now fucked because legal loophole says we can screw over plebians." See what happened to Hostess and pensions for an example.

Edit: Shouting out to you too, mk, on this question because you know a lot about investing too.
