Summary: his plan had 1.69% fees w John Hancock. They realized that was really high and switched, comedically embarrassing the broker and Hancock. He also coopts the Prudential ad with the giant falling dominos and changes it to show the huge impact of fees. They also highlight a piece w Jason Zweig where he explains that most active managers have their money at Vanguard.

I thought it was funny he didn't take a swing at prudential at all. They have way higher fees with their annuities on average even than the Hancock mutual funds. Thought Id see what yall thought of it
