I've often made comments like, "Your 401(k) won't make you rich." Or, "People Don't Get Rich Because they Invested in Their 401(k)." A listener recently asked for clarification on that statement.

My thesis is simple: high 401(k) balances are correlated to people who are rich, but they are not a causative factor of wealth. Enjoy!
