401k Plan, Roth 401k, & 401k Rollover
Posted in Technology on Apr 15th, 2008
If you’re like most working Americans you have a 401k Plan available to you. You should take advantage of this retirement tool. A 401k plan will allow you to put money away for retirement. What’s more, is many employers will match your contribution. This means you’ll be doing a 100mpercent growth on your money without market returns.
Where are you going to find an investment like that?
Recently, the Roth 401k has become available for 401k plans. The Roth 401k allows you to put after tax dollars away, resulting in tax free income in retirement. This is what makes the Roth 401k so attractive. The tradeoff for these plans is that you don’t get the tax write off. For some, this may be the deciding factor in staying with a traditional 401k plan.
After you retire from working all those years, you’ll want to do what’s called a 401k Rollover. A 401k rollover allows you to move your retirement funds into an IRA, Individual Retirement Account. Most individuals don’t want to leave their retirement with their previous employer. This is why the 401k rollover is such an obvious choice.
