Watch those fees |
 |
| The administrative fees that some IRAs and investment funds charge can also have a big impact on your retirement savings. They seem little but they can really add up.

What you don’t know can cost you plenty over time and cut
into your retirement nest egg. Did you know that if you pay
1% each year in fees on an investment of $20,000, then you’ll
have about 25% less ($64,000 less) after 30 years then you
would have if there were no fees?
