Are You Paying Too Much to Invest? How High Fees May Destroy Your Generational Wealth

Описание: Are you paying too much to invest? Most Kenyan investors look at the annual returns (15%, 18%, 20%) but completely ignore the hidden fees that quietly destroy generational wealth.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on common investment brokers fee structure and use a compound interest calculator to reveal a shocking truth: Over 30 years, a "small" fee can cost you over $21 million in potential gains.

We dive deep into the philosophy of Vanguard founder John Bogle, and compare high-fee managed funds against low-cost DIY platforms like HISA and Interactive Brokers.

In this video, you will learn:

The "Hidden Math" that brokers don't want you to see.

Why a 50/50 split with your fund manager is more common than you think.

How to use the NerdWallet calculator to audit your own portfolio.

Why "Thinking in Decades" requires you to optimize for fees TODAY.
