Quotes to ponder:

"Providers are responsible for managing the funds in the account and making sure everything runs smoothly."

"You may be surprised when you realize how much of your contributions are covering these costs rather than your retirement."

"It’s important to review your plan’s prospectus every year to learn about any changes."
