What should you do with your 401(k) when you retire?
For many people, retirement brings a big question: What happens to the
retirement savings you've worked so hard to build?
Depending on your individual situation, you may have several options
for your 401(k), including leaving it with your former employer,
rolling it into an IRA, moving it to a new employer's plan, or taking
a distribution.
But before making a move, it's important to consider the bigger picture.
Things like taxes, fees, investment options, retirement income, and
your overall financial plan can all play a role in determining which
option may be appropriate for you.
Your 401(k) is just one piece of your retirement picture—and
understanding how it fits into your overall plan can help you make
more informed decisions with greater confidence.
