id take 16% b fund cash over cap any day vice an A plan. And I’m at Fedex.

our A plan is down 17.2% over the last 10 years(inflation eating away at value)
the stock market after today is STILL up 167% over the same time period.

assuming an 80/20 portfolio, that’s ~134% gain, 13% annual gain, vs our A plan’s NEGATIVE 1.7% return.

as long as you didn’t freak out and sell low, your account regained its value in less than 3 years (and more if you kept investing)
