Forensic consultant Paul Sippil explains little-known costs for business owners and plan participants and what you can do about them. When it comes to retirement planning, one of the most overlooked areas is the cost hiding within your 401(k) plan. I sat down with Paul Sippil, a forensic 401(k) consultant, in this week's episode of the Retirement Revealed podcast. For the last 20 years, Paul has been helping employers and plan participants understand the full picture of what a 401(k) really costs–and most importantly, what you can do about it. What we revealed may surprise you: many of the fees you could be paying are seemingly invisible, unspoken, and quietly leaving your retirement savings. Your 401(k) Isn't "Free" One of the most common phrases Paul hears when talking with business owners and plan participants is: “I'm not paying anything.” And technically, they're not—at least not directly. That's because 401(k) fees often don't show up on an invoice. Instead, they're extracted from participant accounts through asset-based fees, commissions, and revenue sharing agreements that most people never even notice. Here's the reality: if you're in a 401(k), especially with a small to mid-sized employer, you could be overpaying. And no one may be telling you. The Bigger the Balance, the Bigger the Fee Many 401(k) service providers charge asset-based fees, meaning the more money you have in the plan, the more you pay—even if the services don't change. That fee structure hits high-balance employees (often business owners or long-time participants) the hardest. For example, if your plan has $3 million in assets and your advisor is receiving 0.75% annually, that's $22,500 per year in compensation—whether or not they're actively helping you. Would you pay that if you received an invoice in the mail? However, when the fee is simply deducted from your account through share class expense ratios or revenue sharing, many people never realize it. Small Plans, Big Problems If you work at or own a small business with under 100 employees, your per-participant fees are likely much higher than those in larger plans. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, large plans (those with over $100 million) can be up to 50% cheaper in relative costs. Smaller plans are often stuck with higher costs and less transparency. How to Spot the Hidden Fees Finding these costs isn't easy, but there are tools: Form 5500: This publicly available tax form (found at www.efast.dol.gov) details plan costs and fund options for plans with over 100 participants. Review Share Classes: Funds come in multiple share classes. Some, like “R2,” may carry hefty embedded commissions. Ask your provider if lower-cost versions like “R6” are available. Watch for “Revenue Sharing”: This outdated and opaque compensation method allows brokers and recordkeepers to collect fees without ever issuing a bill. Why Transparency Matters Paul made an interesting point: if employers were required to write a check for 401(k) services as opposed to having the fees quietly and automatically withdrawn, he believes the plan-holders and business owners would actually negotiate those fees, thus resulting in lowered costs. But the industry thrives on invisibility—making it hard for both employers and employees to question or benchmark what they're paying. That's why we suggest a simple test: If your financial advisor can't clearly explain what they're being paid and what you're getting in return, it's time to ask better questions and evaluate your options. Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts (SDBA) If your current 401(k) doesn't offer the investment options you want, ask your employer about adding a Self-Directed Brokerage Account. This feature allows you to invest in a wider range of funds—including ETFs and commodities—that may not be available in your default menu. Not every provider offers this, but it's worth requesting.

This week, in Episode 254, Jay Goltz, Mel Gravely, and special guest John Abrams have a frank conversation about what business owners can do to avoid what John calls the “fat-wallets-and-broken-hearts syndrome.” That's his term for what can happen when an owner sells to private equity and the company ends up getting stripped. Jay, Mel, and John all agree they want no part of that. They all would like to see their businesses continue on without them. And yet, in thinking about succession, they've chosen different paths. In a conversation sparked by the recent publication of John's book, From Founder to Future, we discuss those choices along with such issues as: why there are so few employee-owned businesses, whether they outperform other businesses, how you can finance the sale of a business to employees, whether the employee owners of an ESOP are truly owners, and whether a worker co-op model just might work for a hard-bitten, old-school owner like Jay Goltz.

Have you ever left a job and forgotten about your retirement plan? You're not alone. A staggering $1.3 trillion sits in over 25 million abandoned 401(k) accounts across America. That's literally like walking away from your paycheck when you exit the building!Today I'm breaking down your four options for those old retirement plans, whether they're 401(k)s or 403(b)s. You can leave the money where it is (if you have over $7,000 in the account), which might work well if your former employer offered solid low-cost options. But let's be honest – out of sight often means out of mind, and these accounts frequently end up neglected.Rolling your old plan into your current employer's 401(k) keeps everything in one place, making it easier to manage alongside your current contributions. This strategy also preserves your ability to make backdoor Roth IRA contributions if your income exceeds the normal limits. Alternatively, you could roll the funds into an IRA for potentially greater investment flexibility, though this might come with higher costs than employer plans. And while you can move traditional IRA money back into a 401(k) later, curiously, you can't do the same with Roth IRA funds.The fourth option – cashing out – should generally be your last resort. Between regular income taxes and the 10% early withdrawal penalty, you could easily lose 25-30% of your money immediately. Imagine cashing out $50,000 while earning $75,000 – suddenly your taxable income jumps to $125,000, creating a potential tax nightmare!When deciding what to do with your old retirement accounts, consider fees, investment options, whether you might need to access the money through loans, and the mental clarity that comes from consolidation. Don't become part of that $1.3 trillion in forgotten funds! Review your accounts annually, maintain your online access, and ensure your hard-earned retirement savings keep working for your future.

In this conversation, Jim and Glenn Yaney discuss the journey to financial independence through real estate and the Infinite Banking Concept. Glenn shares how he moved beyond conventional financial advice, took control of his capital, and built sustainable wealth with cash-flowing assets. His story is a direct challenge to the status quo—and a blueprint for ownership. 3 Key Takeaways: Traditional advice doesn't build freedom: Years of 401(k) contributions left Glenn with illiquid assets. It was business and real estate ownership that created true independence. The cost of inaction is control: Glenn used tax strategies to move capital out of retirement accounts and into mobile home parks and apartments—multiplying income and gaining access. Proximity is leverage: By surrounding himself with people who were already financially free, Glenn accelerated his learning and took confident action toward breaking away from his W-2. Glenn Yaney didn't wait—he took control, broke from the herd, and built real freedom through ownership and cash flow. If you're still following the conventional path, ask yourself: is it really working? It's time to think different. It's time to own your future.

In a recent BlackRock survey of registered voters, more than 75% of retirees said they wished they had saved more money for retirement. And with the recent passage of the SECURE 2.0 Act now in effect, opening up new opportunities for savers, investors are considering how to save and build wealth for the future. Shoring up emergency savings is protective of retirement savings, according to research by The BlackRock Foundation. So how can investors ensure they're pulling all the levers at their disposal to retire on their own terms?Rob Crothers, Head of U.S. Retirement for BlackRock, will discuss the current state of the retirement landscape and help us unpack a toolkit for retirement savers that's been proposed by the Bipartisan Policy Center and how investors and employers can plan for the future.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: The Importance of Saving for Retirement00:17 Exploring the SECURE 2.0 Act and Retirement Universals02:01 Current Retirement Landscape and Policy Changes04:06 BlackRock's D.C.

Net Unrealized Appreciation: If you own company stock in your 401(k), this episode could potentially save you thousands in taxes. Jeremiah and Nic uncover the little-known but incredibly powerful NUA tax strategy. Through a real-world client example, you'll learn how someone turned a $16,000 stock cost basis into a $98,000 gain—and avoided paying ordinary income tax on the entire amount.

From tracking your cost basis to understanding when NUA makes sense (and when it doesn't), the guys give you the knowledge you need to ask the right questions and avoid costly mistakes.

We want to live to 100, maybe more. But these plans are not set up to live to 100, which means if we just rely on traditional retirement plans, it's very likely that we'll run out of money.""Match, don't max because you just want to take advantage of what the company is matching. But we don't want to max out everything that we can put into these types of programs.""To really build wealth and to build it powerfully, you might say, 'Hey, there's my neighbor. The estate wants to dump this property really fast. I can get a great deal on this house.' But wait, I can't touch that retirement income to take advantage of this opportunity."Resources Mentioned Vanguard (for index funds) - https://investor.vanguard.com/Connect with KrisstinaWebsite - https://wealthywellthy.life/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/krisstinawiseYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@krisstinawiseKrisstina's Book, Falling For Money - https://www.amazon.com/dp/0692560904/

I'm sticking with answering your questions about the invisible work we do. And today is all about the Sunday Basket®. I didn't yet have a name for it. But I'll never forget the sense of accomplishment from the first time I tried my idea out that became the Sunday Basket®. In 2012, Joey went down for his normal 20 min nap, and I, Lisa Woodruff, actually got a few calls made and checked a few things off my list. The more I did it the more I realized this was something all household managers needed. And now I had a plan to get control of my to do's and paper. Organization is a learnable skill. Delayed gratification = Productivity The Sunday Basket® is a box on your kitchen counter to “collect all”. On Sunday, you make decisions. One person asked “How do you know what to do first?” Reality check: you are not going to get all your to-do's done. We are all overcommitted. When I go through my Sunday Basket®, it's really a process of elimination; what is the least I can get away with doing. When you only take care of the things necessary, you free up time for you. And this is why we use note cards! You don't need to do the busy work of rewriting your to-do list, you just decide if each thing on each note card needs to be done by next Sunday or not and you put it right back in it's slash pocket if not. One person noted they spend all their time going through slash pockets and recreating their to-do list. I remember being worried, “What was I going to do when I completed my Sunday Basket®?” It's important to know what you are freeing up time to do. How would you feel actually completing one of those tasks each week? Then two each week? Then what's that big reward? Will you get more time with your family? Continue your education? Plan what you will do with all that extra time. Sunday Basket® for now and later A Sunday Basket® can be utilized in many ways. I answered one question about using it for finances. You can have a whole Sunday Basket for finances where you track and plan your 401K, Investments, and projects or large ticket items that you are planning to purchase. I use my household manager one for monthly tasks including bills. I have a separate one for larger financial planning. Another person inquired about all the tips she's saved and if putting them in her Sunday Basket® was a good idea. If it's tips or instructions for something difficult to find each time you need to do it, print it off and place them in your Household Operations Binder. And/Or, you could have a whole Sunday Basket® devoted to projects, book tours, getting your PhD, recipes, and life hacks for “someday.” I recommend pink because that's the color for you, the future, and dreaming. The Sunday Basket® is a great place to store ideas and you will know where to find them later. Then when you have the time from only doing necessary tasks, you have time for something that doesn't need to be done but that you have been wanting to do. We have the Sunday Basket® for your household manager role. And there is the Friday Workbox for work. They both help in similar manners but the slash pockets have slightly different functions. We offer bundles to help you make the most out of you purchase to maximize your organization and productivity results. If you really don't know where to start, you won't break customer service's heart to call and they'll shop with you. They love to hear what you are working on and suggest the perfect products for you and the phase of life you are in.
