certain asset and trade minimums at Fidelity 2
Nonretirement Accounts
Checkwriting $15 per returned check or stop-payment; nominal fees
may apply for services such as check reorders, copies of checks, and

Debit Card and ATM Fees There is no annual fee for the Fidelity® Visa®

$1.00 for every ATM transaction above five each month. You may also
be charged separate fees by other institutions, such as the owner of the
ATM. Note: You cannot use the Fidelity HSA® debit card at an ATM.
If you qualify for Premium, Private Client Group, or have household annual
trading activity of 120 or more stock, bond, or options trades, Fidelity will
not charge an ATM transaction fee and will reimburse itemized domestic
fees charged when using the card at ATMs displaying the Visa®, Plus®,
or Star® logos. Eligibility for these fee waivers and reimbursements is
determined based on asset levels as of the end of each business day, and
will be applied the following day. If your eligibility changes, your account
may be charged the applicable fees without notice. Any reimbursements
will be credited to your account the same day an ATM fee is debited from
the account. In rare instances, ATM owners may not itemize fees, which
may cause disruption of individual automatic rebates. Should this occur,
please contact Fidelity. Note: There is a foreign transaction fee of 1% that
is not waived or reimbursed, and will be included in the amount charged
to your account.
The Fidelity® Visa® Gold Check Card and Fidelity HSA® debit card are

vanguard has their minimum fees too . there list is shorter since they don't offer all the services fidelity does .

Account service fees
Account service fees are automatically waived when you register for secure access to our website and let us send account documents to you electronically. They're also waived for all Voyager, Voyager Select, Flagship, and Flagship Select Services clients.
If none of these apply, a $20 fee will be charged annually for each fund account in which you have a balance of less than $10,000.
Avoid account service fees by signing up for e-delivery
See what you get as a Voyager or Flagship Services client
Purchase and redemption fees
Very few Vanguard funds charge fees when you buy and sell shares. The fees are designed to help those funds cover higher transaction costs and protect long-term investors by discouraging short-term, speculative trading.
Fees vary between 0.25% and 1.00% of the amount of the transaction.

Many mutual funds have a minimum purchase. If your amount dips below that, you are charged a fee. This will happen no matter what or where you invest - Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, EJ, Merrill Lynch.


I got sick of Bogleheads because their all purpose answer to everything is "just invest with Vanguard". If you had investment questions but you weren't in Vanguard, they'd talk down whatever you invested in. They are simply promoting a business (Vanguard), not giving real advice. I figured that out pretty quickly and I'm gone from there.

Fidelity is a class act as far as their customer service.

I left Mr Money Mustache due to the nasty comments that some of the members made about stay at home mothers. Extremely rude and insulting things. Things like "Sahms are dull, have no life, gossip and watch tv all the time". I was appalled. I currently stay home with young kids although I do some contract work out of my home. And apparently, some of these working people on MMM think stay at home mothers should babysit for them, for free, while they go to work all day. I got a real laugh out of that, although tried to explain that this was not realistic expectation to have from other people just because they stay home with kids. It didn't go anywhere.


With Bogleheads, it was mainly just the Vanguard worship that bugged me and I wasn't learning anything except "switch to Vanguard".

Sorry you experienced that! It's pretty ironic since financial independence was a major motivation for both MMM and his wife to be stay at home parents.

Yes it's basically a cult, which is a shame because John Bogle is not nearly so dogmatic. I've heard him point out what he feels are flaws in the construction of total bond index, and heard him refer to a (non-Vanguard) stock fund manager as "one of the good guys". (Just to give a couple examples).

Thanks. I feel that just the fact I can stay home with my kids, means I can manage money well enough to do so. We don't have debt. Our home will be paid off in a couple of years.
