About D-Block 401K

BORN ON THE BLOCK. BUILT FOR RETIREMENT.

dblock401k.com started in 2019 when our founder watched his uncle cash out a $68,000 401(k) at 38 — paying $20,000 in taxes and penalties. That pain became a mission: make 401(k) knowledge hood-accessible, meme-proof, and math-backed.

We are not advisors selling funds. We are educators. No AUM fees. No commissions. Just plain-English breakdowns of vesting, compounding, expense ratios, and IRS rules for 2025-2026. From warehouse workers to nurses to tech bros — if you get a paycheck, you deserve a playbook.

✓
Our creed: No worker left unmatched.
Every paycheck should capture 100% of employer match before anything else — even debt payoff (except high-interest).
✓
Radical transparency on money.
We publish our own portfolios, fees we pay, and mistakes we made losing $11k to a 1.02% fund in 2017.
✓
From $0 to $1M blueprint.
Contribute 15%, invest in low-cost index, never cash out on job change, increase 1% yearly. Boring wins.

401(K) FAQ — REAL TALK

How much can I contribute in 2026? What happens if I quit? Should I do Roth? We answer the 6 questions every American Googles at 2AM.

Tax and retirement FAQ documents
How much can I put in my 401(k) for 2026? +
$23,500 if under 50, plus $7,500 catch-up if 50+. Ages 60-63 get super catch-up $11,250 under SECURE 2.0. Always check IRS update in our Intel.
Should I choose Roth or Traditional 401(k)? +
If you're in 12-22% bracket now and expect higher income later → Roth wins. In 32%+ peak earning → Traditional saves more. Unsure? Split 50/50. See calculator.
What happens to my 401(k) if I quit? +
Nothing vanishes. You can leave it, roll to new 401(k), or roll to IRA via direct rollover. Never cash out — 10% penalty + taxes. Read our rollover guides in news.
What funds should I pick? +
Default to low-cost S&P 500 index (0.03%) + total bond + international. Avoid funds over 0.30% unless no choice. Target-date is okay if expense <0.20%.
Can I borrow from my 401(k)? +
Up to 50% or $50k, pay yourself back with interest. Risk: if you leave job, repay fast or it becomes withdrawal. Use only for emergencies.
Is D-BLOCK 401K a financial advisor? +
No. Education only. We don't hold your money or sell funds. For personal advice, talk to a fiduciary. Our mission detailed in About.
