In today’s episode of Scriptures and Wall Street, Carlos Cortez digs into the uncomfortable truth behind America’s favorite retirement tool—the 401(k). If you think it’s your money, think again. Carlos breaks down how the government, the tax code, and big institutions have more control over your retirement than you might realize. From tax traps and income penalties to why being a “participant” isn’t the same as being an owner, this episode is a wake-up call for anyone blindly following the traditional path to retirement. You want financial freedom? It starts by knowing the rules—and who really wrote them. ———————————————————————————————————— Schedule a consultation today! https://cortezwm.com Learn More About America First Retirement https://americafirstretirementplan.com/ Get your own private insurance account! https://privateinsuredaccount.com/ ———————————————————————————————————— Follow us on Rumble! https://rumble.com/c/c-5319252 Follow us on twitter! https://twitter.com/scrptrandwallst Video References ———————————————————————————————————— Everything Bubble to Finally Burst?
