ben, one of the common things i heard people doing, during the time when they were shuttling through jobs more quickly, was cashing out of their 401k's, which the design of the program made it more simple to do. >> yeah, absolutely. and it's natural to do, you lose your job in the middle of a recession. you have this pool of cash, you have to pay your mortgage or buy food, so you dip into that. and not only do you eat into your retirement, a lot of people ended up cashing out at the absolute bottom of the market, so by the time they were able to get back into saving for retirement, they missed a lot of the rebound in the retirement, and they don't have time to get back the money they lost. >> monique, listen to that example that ben just gave. cashing out at the bottom of the market. something a professional investor wouldn't do, but the 401k system seems to treat us all as if we are professional investors, and we're not. >> that's true. a lot of times we blame individuals for not saving enough. and yet how many people know how much they should save or invest. and in the wake of the
