Most people don’t understand their 401(k). They think that if they automatically have a 401(k), they’re fully set for retirement. Nothing is further from the truth. For example, 2008 taught many 401(k)
owners that they should’ve been really watching over their nest eggs. In order for you to have a successful retirement, you need to understand all the elements of your 401(k) and if it’s suited to your risk level. You also need to understand the fees that you are paying.
