They’re talking about mutual funds and 401ks, which will grow if you just leave them be.

Wrong. If you switch jobs your place of employment will offload your 401k funds to the world's shittiest scummiest organization that will steal as much as they can in the form of fees.

Maybe yours did, but that’s not how it generally works.
