Reply to comment by Coronator in Investing more in taxable brokerage than retirement accounts by goookologist

Agree and disagree.. they should pursue lowest fees possible (I’m a Boglehead myself), but even with outrageous fees, if there is a positive return, the benefits of the tax advantaged plans will likely far exceed the higher fees.

Losing 20% of your returns over the course of 20 years is far more impactful than taxes. Do a calculation to see for yourself. It’s why so many people are better off just funding their 401k to the match and then moving on to a brokerage account.
