Book Reviews of Stop the 401(k) Rip-off!: Eliminate Costly Hidden Fees to Improve Your Life
Book Review: Every American should read
Summary: 5 Stars
My name is Matthew Hutcheson. I'm an independent pension fiduciary, and have studied retirement plan economics for over fifteen years. Every American worker with a 401(k) (or a 403(b)/457 for that matter) should put this book on the top of their reading list. The information contained in this book could be worth many thousands of extra retirement dollars to you down the road. Mr. Loeper should be congratulated on one of the most important and practical retirement books of the decade. Book Review: Insightful
Summary: 5 Stars
What an incredible book! So many people invest in retirement programs. So many companies offer these programs. Sadly, very few people or companies negotiate well or know where to start. I found this book very helpful and a special discovery to the process of reviewing a company's retirement plan.
Book Review: A common sense way to calculate costs.
Summary: 3 Stars
I am surprised that the book got so many five star reviews. There is nothing mentioned in the book that a somewhat experienced investor will not know. I am all for bringing light to anything about investing though.Book Review: An awareness of 401(k) fees - Critical to helping you reach your retirement objectives
Summary: 5 Stars
As David points out in his book, employees should know about the fees and conflicts of interest regarding the investment choices in their 401(k) plans. There continues to be a lack of education for participants with regard to the investment assets within qualified retirement plans. It's not easy for people to know about potential conflicts of interest pertaining to the investment options available through 401(k) plans.
Readers of this book can make more informed decisions about the investment options selected when they know how to evaluate, among other things, the disclosures mutual fund companies provide about their fees and conflicts of interest.
Another logical solution to the lack of information about 401(k)'s and other qualified plans is for people to augment their education by reading books such as David's or by obtaining specific investment advice provided by a qualified fiduciary advisor.
I recommend this book which should help people better understand the financial products they are invested in and the services they receive in order for them to reach their retirement objectives.
