"What's created in a 401(k) world other than companies that are gradually unburdened by health and retirement expenses? A void. Retirees won't have enough to live a comfortable lifestyle in their most vulnerable years. Either old-age poverty increases dramatically like it did before the New Deal/Great Society programs like Medicare kicked in, or the government steps up to help people save for retirement and blunt the oppressive risk of being bankrupted by health-care expenses."

"Instead of one professionally managed fund that's risk adjusted for the age of the employee (or company's employee group), thousands of off-the-shelf actively managed funds are offered in 401(k)s. Not only is it inefficient, it's wasteful in terms of money that could be invested."

"Instead of harping on the evils of entitlements, give Americans more ways to save. Set up a universal savings account with tax-free withdrawals for any purpose. The government could add matching grants to get people started. You wouldn't be tied to an employer's inadequate 401(k). Even consider an automatic component that forces people to save[.]"

"Not only are 401(k)s dangerous vehicles for most people -- they consistently lose money in them -- they are loaded with middlemen fees. Most people never calculate how much these fees eat into their retirement plans.... [T]he more you automate, the lesser the chance of you getting in the way of consistent saving. Robo-plans are here to stay. You just have to pull the switch to make them work."

"Most Americans are paying too much when it comes to retirement fund management.... What's the best way to avoid these fees? [1] Always work with a 'no-load' fund company.... [2] Don't go with 'house' funds.... [3] Always read your fund disclosures.... [4] Make a move if you're getting gouged."
