I realized California is going to take a lot of my money
I’m able to live off interest and dividendsI thik that is the ideal. Live of returns on your nut wthout depleting it. You will not get caught short by miscalculting your longeivity and mismatching your burn rate. OTOH, do you want to leave the fruits of your hard work to your survivors? Nothing wrong with that as it strengthens future generations, unless the recipients turn out to be trustafarian wastrels.
For me, it's 1. Doing better than before the Chinese virus hit.
That's mostly due to Shopify, which really took off because of all of this.
2. Doing fine. Things are just the same, no changes.
Part of my retirement plan is to avoid California income tax entirely by moving to a state with no income tax,
I simply cannot imagine someone who has worked, saved and invested for decades in California can stay and pay Sacramento $250,000+ during his retirement.
Most of what people think of as California has been an empty publicity stunt

3. Still earning, but working from home now.
4. Lost my job, but have savings and UE payments are helping.
5. Was a gig worker, little savings, not being helped by UE payments.
6. Retired and smoking fat cigars.
7. Was homeless before, so who the fuck gives a shit?
8. Back in Mom's basement and enjoying her apple pie.
9. Illegal organ harvesting business doing better than ever.
10. Getting laid more by desperate, broke, but tatted babes.
11. Internet service is spotty in the bunker, but have plenty of yams, beans and lead. Bring it on!
Sounds legit.

Why would anybody want their income plundered by these

So you're moving out of state to avoid the income tax when you retire and stop generating income?
Sounds legit.

I vote sailboat! Maybe I'll join ya!
What many don't understand is that traditional 401ks are not that great since taxes are likely going to be higher when you retire given the fact most - esp. leftoid politicians are thieves and thus taxes only go up and hardly ever down during your lifetime. It's a bit of a scam.

I don’t know where Rin was in California; when I first saw it I was amazed.

So far I only have 200 in a roth and 50 in a 401k. So I'll probably only make it half way there.

They're too restrictive! They're only worth it if your company matches. Take the free money. Otherwise, you can just open your own IRA and pick yourself.
Now...
Also If you want to know how over-valued the market is the best metric is the Schiller PE Ratio It uses average earnings over the last decade helps to smooth out the impact of business cycles on P/E https://multpl.com/shiller-pe
16 is normal
30 before the great depression
We’re at 32
Another is the dow/gold ratio where 15 stocks are expensive and 5 gold is expensive. I'd have some cash for upcoming opportunities ;)
