Work-sponsored Vanguard fee for Trad 401k is $14 every three months. What's reasonable? Are there better options?

Flat? That's extremely reasonable.

Strat1 everyone is charged for their 401k, just in varying amounts and methods. You may pay an expense ratio in each fund instead of a quarterly fee

Work charges you for 401K? Strange.

Lol@Strat: always read the fine print...

Yes, we pay an expense ratio, but it's still lower than Vanguard's expense ratio. We don't pay a fee on top of that. I find it hard, if not impossible, to believe that OP's funds don't charge any expense ratio and that he/she is just paying a fee.

You're trying to avoid / decrease a $14 quarterly expense?

I just wasn't sure what was typical - I've only been with TIAA CREF 401K from an internship, and I was 16 then, so not that concerned with the fine print...Vanguard's been awesome about clearly invoicing fees. Good to hear $14 is reasonable. Not sure what the expense ratio is, but will be sure to ask!

Need help on how to invest. We are positioned to pay off our house later this year. Expect to work for another ~20 years. 401k fully funded and have some company stock investments maturing over the next few years, but no investments outside of that. Kids have a prepaid college plan for certain schools. Emergency fund is solid. Where should I look to start investing? I have fidelity for my 401k, would they be good to open a taxable investment account with, or are there better options?

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
