Welcome back, savvy savers!
Emma here, your young adult saving guide to all things 401(k). Today we’re taking on the sneaky realm of 401(k) fees. That’s right. It’s not just those unexpected concert ticket fees that can surprise you anymore.
We all dream of stashing away more money for a fun-filled, carefree retirement. And 401(k)s? They’re the chariots that drive us to that dream. But lurking in the shadows, there are villains known as fees, threatening to derail your journey. These seemingly small fees can, over time, devour a surprising slice of your precious savings.
Unmasking the Fee Percentages
At a glance, 401(k) fees might appear trivial. A tiny 1% here, a little 0.5% there. But let’s crunch some numbers: with a balance of $100,000 in your 401(k), a 1% annual fee snatches away $1,000 each year. Stretch that over years, and coupled with compound interest, you’re losing out on a significant sum.
