If you leave in a 401K, don't you usually pay lower account maintenance fee vs rolling it out to a personal IRA? I know you get more options in the personal IRA in terms of investment.

In some cases yes and in some cases no. That is why it is good to work with a Fiduciary. They will compare the fees on your current 401k and other options. You are correct there are far more options in and IRA versus a 401k. Many thanks for watching and commenting. @@roniltataria8712

Money in 401k I was told can be exempt from lawsuits. If you move it to IRA do you retain this protection?

Converting my 401k to a Traditional Roth with Vanguard was the best financial decision I made 17 years ago. No tax worries for the rest of my life.

My spouse and I are adding a variety of stocks/ETF to my present holdings for the long term, We've set aside $250k to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it wouldn't hurt to know means of actualizing short term profit.

I am super happy with the many investment options in my companies' 401K and at least for the short term plan on leaving it there and letting it grow.

I appreciate the THOROUGH discussion of the different options ... thank you VERY MUCH

Thanks for posting this. 👍

The very few options in my wifes account were not doing good, always in the red. Rolled it into an IRA making 5.2%. Left the 401 open with the best they had, most days still in the red.

Good stuff❤🎉😊

I have an employee sponsored low fee 401k. Upon separation I will be forced to do something with that money. I was going to bite the bullet and convert it (500k) to a Roth and pay the taxes but now think it makes more sense to do a regular Roth to avoid the tax implications. Do you agree and do you have any recommendations on low fee alternative broker that I can research? I am currently tied to vanguard.

Awesome

The outfit my 401k is in is stuck in 1980. The only way to get the money moved to Fidelity or say Vanguard is a check in the mail that has the great potential of being lost or stolen. Worse, the process according to the 401K provider, can take up to a month. WTH!!

I would call Vanguard or Fidelity, I bet they can make it happen direct form your employer to them without mailing a check.

What about the fees/taxes with the rollover 401K

No taxes are due in most cases on a 401k rollover. There usually are no fees to roll the funds over. Though the fees in the new IRA account the 401k funds are rolled over into may have higher fees than the 401k plan.

how do i roll my 401k into an IRA when there is a $7000 limit?

It depends on the state. The information is on the internet but better yet talk to a Google financial advisor.

I think that if you do a tax free rollover to IRA from a 401k or 403b type funds and you are in the rule of 55, those funds that were “freely liquid” are now locked until age 59 1/2. People try to save on fees in work retirement funds and don’t look at all the variables or ask the proper questions. I think people try to save on taxes. So they want to Roth convert. You pay taxes on any money you convert up front and to could also affect Medicare payments by making them go up. There is a whole slew of things the government has already figured out. Goes the sayings that “if it’s too good to be true” and “nothing in life is free”. Do tons of research before doing anything. Your money won’t go anywhere till you change it. $1 in inflation is still $1. Just buy less.

I noticed that too. What would you do with the freely liquid money?

@@lettyortiz9700 I would leave it in and use it for expenses, pay down high debt or keep it invested if your company plan allows it. Just remember, any money taken out of account is still taxed at your income level. Like a paycheck. Just check on rules and restrictions of your companies plan for rule of 55. Plans can vary from company to company. The money in the accounts should be considered for retirement and not just fun money, but surviving is the most important thing. I hope some of this helps. Some plans have advisors that can help. Have a nice day.

Spend it 😁

Is it the age of 55 or the age of 59 1/2 when you can get the 401l without penalty??
