401 (not) OK: The other things you said 'Yes' to when you started your qualified plan - Paperback

by James L. Beattey IV (Author)

For more than a generation, the 401k (and its cousins - the 403b, 457, SEP, SIMPLE, and IRA) have grown to the primary vehicles Americans use to accumulate wealth for retirement. But there's more to these so-called 'qualified' plans than the simple sound-bites offered up by their Wall Street advocates. In his second 'expose-style' book (Rigged, 2014), James Beattey exposes the 16 things owners of these plans agreed to when they signed up for the 401k - things that would have dissuaded most from ever starting them in the first place had they been fully disclosed. In 401 (Not) OK, you'll learn what they are - and what you can do about them as Beattey turns complex, boring financial topics into simple, quick-hitting, entertaining stories that are sure to both inform and provoke.
