Most people make rollover decisions too fast.
The paperwork feels simple.
The financial consequences usually aren’t.
Before rolling over your 401(k), consider these three questions:
1. How does this impact my retirement income strategy? A rollover is not just about where the money sits. It can affect how income is created later.
2. Are there tax considerations I might be overlooking? Timing matters. Deferred compensation, Roth conversions, and distribution strategies can all influence outcomes.
3. Does this decision align with broader family planning? Beneficiaries, spouse protections, estate coordination, and long-term flexibility are important factors.
Too often, people treat a rollover like paperwork.
It can be one of the more important financial decisions in retirement.
If someone you know is navigating a retirement, severance, or rollover decision, I’m always happy to be a resource.
Good planning can help reduce the risk of costly mistakes.
