401(k) interview highlights from 6/12/09 show   June 15th, 2009

  1. For those folks who have left their company, keep your 401(k) with your past employer.  The employer is able to get better fee rates than you can with as an individual.
  2. If you are in an active plan, contribute at least up to the amount of employer match.
  3. If you cash out your 401(k), there are penalties as well as tax consequenses.  Make that your last option, not first option.
  4. If you are more risk adverse, speak to your plan administrator if you are looking for a fund that will protect your principle.
