Some helpful links in general.

Google "Borzi," as in Phyllis Borzi, the Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Employee Benefits Security Administration.

If you never do anything else today, watch this video. It was broadcast on April 23, 2013.

Tonight on FRONTLINE: The Retirement Gamble

Phyllis C. Borzi appears in the show.

Please see the article about excessive 401(k) fees in the September 2013 issue of Consumer Reports

Full disclosure: I have money in Vanguard funds.

Vanguard offers funds with active management, Jack Bogle's beliefs notwithstanding. It's like your grocery store. You can buy broccoli there, and you can buy chocolate-covered marshmallows there. They leave the choice up to you.
