Maintain a broad view of all of your holdings as you reallocate assets. It’s not enough to focus on just the 401(k). Take all of your investments into account. If you leave an employer, make sure you haven’t forgotten anything, like a 401(k) or other benefits you may have earned. If it’s an old 401(k), roll that into an IRA, which you can invest any way you want. It happens all the time — people leave money in a 401(k) and forget about it. They take more time on their vacation than they do on retirement planning, says Michael Scarborough, owner and CEO of Oak Wealth Partners, in this Bankrate.com article on Saving for Retirement (April 2019).
