Fidelity tries to sell their financial services by letting us know they offer great advice such as “don’t buy expensive things you can’t afford.” And this is not picking on Fidelity alone- they are all like this. How may commercials have you seen where an investment bank tells you “We can help you rollover a 401K.” ? A monkey could roll over a 401K.
