How to Cut Retirement Fund Expenses

In most cases it makes sense to avoid funds with high fees. And why anyone would pay an "upfront fee" of up to 6% is beyond me. Even if you don't find everything you want at Vanguard, there are other low fee mutual fund companies that are probably just as good. Fidelity is a good example.
It may make sense for younger investors to take on a little more risk, but they should stay diversified, never risking more than 10-20% in any one fund and never having all of their assets in one basket. Just ask those who trusted Bernie with all their money!
