401k is like a retirement thing, they take so much money out each check, and when you quit wherever, you're supposed to be able to get it.. but if they fire you, you can only get half of it.. if you draw it early, there's a penalty for that... I'm honestly not 100% sure how it works, I also got a bunch of money in stocks at walmart too... I get a profit sharing check every 3 months, usually for $200-300, which is related to all that stuff. I get like 40 pages of papers about it every year and don't really read it too much, never have the time to, haha.
