It is amazing. I have known about the negative affect of high investment expenses (including advisor fees or commissions) for over 25 years.
It is surprising how a few percentage points (compounded) over 20, 30 or 40 years can put a big hole in savings.
I believe most people just overlook it and don't realize the effect.
If many knew they were paying more than their house is worth they would be shocked. Especially shocked when they found out there are alternatives that are much lower cost and just as effective.
