<h1>The Hidden Costs of Investing with a Financial Advisor</h1>
I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but if you’re investing $500 a month with a financial advisor who charges a 1% assets under management fee and another 1% for the active mutual funds they’re placing you in, here’s exactly what your retirement portfolio could look like.

<h2>Projected Investment Growth</h2>
<ul>
 <li>After 10 years: about $7,000</li>
 <li>After 20 years: about $47,000</li>
 <li>After 30 years: about $168,000</li>
 <li>After 40 years: about $476,000</li>
 <li>After 50 years: about $1.2 million</li>
</ul>
Not bad! Oh, wait. Those numbers seem off.
Oh, sorry. That’s how much money you’ll lose from your retirement in fees. Really messed that one up!
