Hey, it's Louis.
I had a 401(k) from an old job that I never once looked at. Not once.
I left that job, and my brain did this weird math where I convinced myself it was basically nothing. "What's really in there? Five bucks?" That was the story I told myself so I didn't have to think about it.

You know that account exists. You're not confused about it. You just haven't looked, because looking means finding out either it's smaller than you hoped or it's been losing to fees this whole time, and both of those feel bad enough to keep scrolling past. That's not forgetting. That's avoiding on purpose and calling it forgetting so it doesn't sting as much.
