Episode Description

Financial Advisor John-Mark Young of @whitaker-myerswealthmanage2043 answers a question from Judy in Ohio who asks, "John-Mark, I have been given my investment options for your 401(k) plan. They want to default me into a mutual fund with the year at the end of its name (target date fund). Should I allow them to do this or is there a better option for my retirement investments at this new company?
