Your Old 401(k) Account
While you can’t continue contributing to an old 401(k) or 403(b), the good news is:
you have options.
✅ Leave it where it is (sometimes okay—but rarely ideal)
✅ Cash it out (beware of taxes and penalties!)
✅ Roll it over into an IRA or your new employer’s plan
Each option has pros and cons, and the right choice depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and long-term plan.
You’re not alone—and the decision you make now can have a big impact on your financial future. As a fiduciary, I specialize in helping people understand their options and choose the path that’s right for them.
