This is just ONE economist, but his prediction is interesting. According to him, we are in a bubble for everything .. market, banks, real estate, etc. And he says that 'everything bubble' is going to burst in 2024. An everything crash. This guy is actually hoping for it so everything goes back to what he thinks is 'normal'. Everyone with a 401K probably would be hoping for just the opposite. A lot of retirement age people are counting on their 401Ks to survive retirement.
US Economist Predicts 2024 Will Bring Biggest Single Crash of Lifetime
Since 2009, this has been 100% artificial, unprecedented money printing and deficits; $27 trillion over 15 years, to be exact. This is off the charts, 100% artificial, which means we're in a dangerous state," Harry Dent told Fox News Digital. "I think 2024 is going to be the biggest single crash year we'll see in our lifetimes."
"I'm the guy that's praying for a crash while everybody else is not. We need to get back down to normal, and we need to send a message to central banks," he continued. "This should be a lesson I don't think we'll ever revisit. I don't think we'll ever see a bubble for any of our lifetimes again."
Dent, who spent the majority of his career analyzing proprietary research, credited his against-the-grain prediction to overvalued markets and excessive stimulus spending. While recent rallies have overwhelmingly provided investors with mild recession expectations, Dent remained firm that an "everything bubble" will burst next year.

This would truly be a dream come true.
A market crash would destroy everyones 401Ks and a lot of elderly people will be dirt poor and in need of government assistance.
Take the penalty and cash out now or lose it.

You have learned nothing or are bad at paying attention.
The boomers have as much say as your generation when it comes to the government and its policies.
Just like your generation is wanting free healthcare and education they arent getting it. Instead your generation is getting more wars and more money being spent on illegals and foreign govts.
They want you to make the boomers your boogie man so you wont go after the same corrupted govt that screwed them and will screw your generation.

Good,
Many in my generation are hoping this will happen. The generation worried about retirement are the same ones that gave us massive debt and a broken economy and government. We say #em because anyone 40 and younger is #ed and will never be able to retire. So let the older people go into debt and we'll tell them they should have worked harder...

This site is good for financial statistics:
UD Debt Clock
They have the total US national assets at $661,217 per citizen.
$33.9 trillion US national debt breaks down to $100,936 per citizen.
A total US debt of $103 trillion breaks down to around $300,000 per citizen.
Oh and this is odd, I just noticed that the US money supply appears to be decreasing.
I would think that a market crash and rapid deflation would go hand in hand.
