There's another group of people like me who _hates_ dealing with retirement shit.
It's not that I don't feel it's important--I do. It's that the entire infrastructure for dealing with 401Ks and retirement, I think, sucks. Moving money from one place to another is terrifying--so many different steps along with the fear you'll accidentally pull the money "out" and have to pay taxes and penalties on it...
I can hear everyone saying, "It's easy--I had no problem with it". So it's not rational. But I'll bet I'm not alone.
(For the record, I'm doing OK in the retirement department. Well above average for my age and well-well-well above median. I still goddamn hate it. I'd rather have paid more tax in exchange for more Social Security payout any day.)
