Pro tip: Seeing beginners ignore expense ratios really changed my perspective

I was reviewing some starter portfolios and noticed how many folks pick funds based purely on past performance without checking the fees. Those small percentages add up over decades, quietly eating into returns that could have been compounding. Do you have a threshold for expense ratios that makes you walk away from an otherwise tempting fund?

Look at people treat expense ratios like optional fine print, it's genuinely hilarious. That "small" fee becomes a MONSTER over twenty years of compounding.

Is the normalization of hidden fees a broader symptom of consumer powerlessness?
