Wait...where did my retirement money go?

You have many different competing.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

It's so fascinating.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

Firms, right.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

Yeah, it's very fragmented.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

And I don't think they have a lot of incentive to change this.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

I think if they had a lot of incentive to change this, it would be changed.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

Right, right.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

I'm guessing that like not having to do this is just cheaper than having to do it for a firm.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

So like that if they had to make it very easy to transfer money from one account to another, they'd be always doing that.

I mean, just to give you a sense of that, like if a account is less than $1,000, the company does have the ability to automatically get rid of it or roll it over because they hate having small accounts.

I mean, they would have to send you a check or put it somewhere.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

Right.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

They can't just get rid of it, but like, but they are allowed for very small accounts to get it off their books because it's costly for them.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

I think who's most disadvantaged by it are lower income workers who move around a lot.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

You know, if you look at like age and income and job mobility, you know, the people who lose out are people who move jobs at any point.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

And younger people move jobs more.

Marketplace All-in-One
Wait...where did my retirement money go?

And really importantly, I think lower income people move jobs more.

Wait...where did my retirement money go?

Now, lower income people often don't have access to a 401k at all.
