With 7% interest it’s over 200k.

Sure but that’s an order of magnitude above the numbers the parent is comparing? A 7% fee is certainly crazy, agreed with you there

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.
