Why This Book Exists
The 401(k) wasn't created by financial geniuses. It was a happy accident—a footnote in the 1978 tax code that corporate America grabbed and sold to you as "the future of retirement."
Overnight, corporations dumped their pensions and handed workers a 401(k) brochure, a list of mutual funds, and said, "Good luck out there." You became the CFO of your own retirement—except nobody taught you how.
The Truth Nobody Tells You
Your 401(k) isn't bad—it's just incomplete.
It's like building a house and calling it finished after the foundation's poured. This book shows you how to build the rest.

- How the 401(k) became America's accidental retirement plan—and why that matters for your future
- The bright side: tax deferral, employer matches, Roth options, and automation that actually works
- The dark side: hidden fees, contribution limits, tax time bombs, and the "set it and forget it" trap
- Why Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts (SDBAs) are the hidden door to professional management inside your 401(k)
