Retired Teacher Pays it Forward (#325)

Illinois educator-turned state legislator Karina Villa — who was once sold an unsuitable, high-cost 403(b) — proposed a K-12 403(b) reform bill that would have ended front-end and back-end loads. It would have capped advisor fees and administration fees at 0.50% respectively, and it would have required vendors to offer low-cost index funds and low-cost target date funds. Of course, the bad actors in the industry hated it. And of course they flooded the zone with money, lobbyists, distortions, and outright lies.  Senator Villa discusses the legislative process, the pushback from high-cost vendors, lobbyists, and the National Tax-Deferred Savings Association, and how close the bill came to becoming law. She also shares what's next for 403(b) reform in Illinois.   Senator Karina Villa  SB2568 Learned by Being Burned - Short pod series about how teachers got burned then got wise to the 403(b) Meridian Wealth Management 403bwise.org  Nothing presented or discussed is to be construed as investment or tax advice.
