| 0:04.0 | I've been sharing this for years |
| 0:06.0 | what they're not telling you about your 401k. |
| 0:09.0 | Too much disapproval by the way, |
| 0:11.0 | and some downright hate too, but people are starting to change |
| 0:14.9 | their tone a bit even the inventor of the 401k himself he admits to have |
| 0:20.0 | created a monster that should be blown up his exact choice of words and I'll tell you why |
