I recently participated in a live webcast attended by a number of Vanguard retirement plan participants. The topic was retirement investing, and questions came fast and furious. We answered as many as we could in our allotted 30 minutes.
One question we didn’t get to: What are the plusses and minuses of keeping money in a 401(k), as opposed to rolling over to an IRA? It’s unfortunate that we didn’t have time to discuss this, as it’s an important question, and the answer can vary depending on what’s going on in your life.
