Very true prediction. Everyone is against the pharma industry.

Review history. Large empires fall because of the greed of the few at the very top.
this is a very good thread. mr mustache is too. thought it was porn but it's not
you need to focus on tomorrow instead of today. the industry will not be here forever. if you are under 50 put 18,500 away!!!!!!
over 50, 24,500 don't be foolish!!!
that is all
over 50, 24,500 don't be foolish!!!
that is all
Amen to that. My wife and I prioritize for our future. So many foolish colleagues of hers (both in pharma) buy every thing on the rack at high end stores, beauty parlor treatments every other week and botoxes etc. She's gorgeous as she is and works out and looks naturally fresh.
I hope that's not all you are "putting away". If you only play the pretax 401K game you wont be too happy when its retirement time. Get a good financial advisor and do some planning. Some of you do more planning for your week at Disney than you do for your financial future. You may have to live 30-40 years on what you put away.
You silly thing-that's about as financially sound as our grandparents relying on social security. If that's all you're doing you may never retire. 1st off, unless your 401k is post tax, you will pay taxes on that money and all profits from it, so it will be worth about 60% of what's there. You really need to do things outside of your employee savings plan. And any time you change companies PLEASE roll that account over to a non employer account with more diversity than what companies offer.
I don't think anybody is going to retire here. I can't stop laughing 
have 2.5 million now plus husband has 1.2. No kids. makes this job less stressful. 2 mortgages and soon to be one when we sell main home and live in vacation house
Or just lower your stress and work in a different environment. Not everyone who makes good money works in the pharma industry.
