When you leave a job, it’s easy to forget about the old 401(k) and let it sit. The problem is, those accounts often get neglected and that can cost you.
Many employer plans have limited investment options, higher administrative fees than you realize, and no ongoing guidance once you’re no longer an employee. You also lose the ability to coordinate that account with the rest of your strategy.
This can create tax inefficiencies, missed Roth conversion opportunities, and outdated beneficiary designations.
A simple review can help determine whether that old account still makes sense where it is, or if consolidating it into a strategy that works with the rest of your financial plan would serve you better.
The goal isn’t just to keep saving — it’s to make sure every dollar is working intentionally toward your long-term retirement plan.
