guntars did the amortization on $25k growing with interest (not fees). In other words, the claim is that 0.5% can be significant. Which is true.

When I did the math with my life savings, 0.5% was about the breakpoint where things become significant. $200k would be more significant, so I suspect when I did the math properly, I was expecting to retire in less than 50 years. In 50 years, I'll likely be dead.

Ah I see, the 7% yearly interest on the 0.5% fee can add up to be significant. That is a good point, good job @guntars
