For many people, the 401(k) is an easy account to manage. The money comes out of your paycheck before you get the chance to spend it so it’s like you never had it in the first place. That makes it a great tool for retirement savings but because it’s so painless, people often ignore it more than they should.

Here are some of the things we discuss in this episode:
