Is cashing out your 401(k) the right move? It can be tempting to see your savings as a quick source of cash, but cashing out may result in penalties and taxes.

Have more than one 401(k) at previous employers? On average, American’s change jobs every 4.1 years, according to Zippia, so it’s likely you’ve been through this process before…and you’ll eventually need to do it again. So, option three might be a good fit for you.

If the money is moved directly from your 401(k) plan administrator to the IRA provider, no taxes are due on the assets that you move, and any new earnings accumulate tax deferred.

A rollover IRA might be the best option for you, but once again, understand the fees, investment choices and other important considerations…and how those compare to your previous plan.

There’s a lot to consider. Working with a financial professional can help find the right fit for you. Let’s talk!

Paleontologists have uncovered a remarkable discovery in Wyoming: two “stunningly preserved” dinosaur mummies with fossilized skin patterns, spikes, and even hooved feet.

The fossils, belonging to the duck-billed species Edmontosaurus annectens, were first found more than a century ago but have now been reexamined using modern imaging techniques. Researchers determined that the specimens retained fine surface molds created by microbes as the dinosaurs decayed, revealing details such as a neck crest, tail spikes, and the earliest evidence of hooved limbs in a reptile.

These findings help scientists better understand how their soft tissues decayed and fossilized, offering new insight into what dinosaurs may have looked like in life.
