401(k) Fees Could Significantly Impact Retirement Savings, Warns CBS News
CBS News reports that many U.S. workers may be unaware of the fees associated with their 401(k) plans, which can significantly impact their retirement savings. According to the Department of Labor, a 1% difference in fees could reduce a person's retirement account balance by 28% over time. The report highlights that 401(k) plans typically incur administrative and investment-related fees, which can vary based on the plan's size and investment choices. Smaller plans often have higher fees, and workers may not have control over these costs. However, choosing lower-cost investment options can help mitigate the impact of fees on retirement savings.
