What To Do With 401K After Leaving Your Job | What happens to my 401K plan?
When you leave your job, whether it’s due to a new opportunity or retirement, it’s important to consider what to do with your 401K plan. A 401K is a retirement savings account sponsored by your employer and allows you to contribute a portion of your pre-tax earnings into a diverse range of investment options. But what happens to your 401K after you leave your job?
First and foremost, it’s crucial to understand the options available to you when it comes to your 401K after leaving your job. Typically, you’ll have four main options: leave it where it is, roll it over into a new employer’s plan, roll it over into an individual retirement account (IRA), or cash it out. Each option comes with its own set of considerations and potential consequences, so it’s important to carefully weigh your choices before making a decision.
Leaving your 401K where it is might seem like the simplest option, but it’s not always the most beneficial. Some employers may charge additional fees for former employees to keep their 401K with the company, and you may have limited investment options. Additionally, you might lose track of your retirement savings if you have multiple 401K accounts from different employers.
Rolling over your 401K into a new employer’s plan is a good option if your new employer offers a retirement savings plan and allows rollovers. This can consolidate your retirement savings into one account and may offer a wider range of investment options. It’s important to note, however, that not all plans accept rollovers, so be sure to check with your new employer’s benefits department before making a decision.
Another option is to roll over your 401K into an individual retirement account (IRA). This gives you more control over your investment options and allows you to avoid potential fees from former employers. IRAs also offer more flexibility in terms of withdrawals and beneficiary options. However, it’s important to be aware of the tax implications of rolling over your 401K into an IRA and consider consulting a financial advisor before making this decision.
Lastly, cashing out your 401K might seem appealing if you need immediate access to the funds, but it also comes with serious consequences. You’ll likely face early withdrawal penalties and taxes on the amount you cash out, not to mention the potential impact on your long-term retirement savings. It’s generally best to avoid cashing out your 401K unless absolutely necessary.
Overall, the best course of action for your 401K after leaving your job will depend on your individual financial situation and future plans. It’s important to carefully consider your options and potentially seek advice from a financial advisor before making a decision. Your retirement savings are a crucial part of your financial future, so it’s worth taking the time to make an informed choice.
Most people don't worry about their 401K when they leave their job. What do you think about the different options I mentioned in this video?
Can I take a hardship for a car
Thankyou so much for informative video 🙂 Im 21 and lost both of my parents by the age of 18, so I didnt have to luxury of having these kinds of information explained to me from a parent.
I have 90 days to pay back my 401k loan from my previous job. Should I roll the remaining balance to my current employer and pay the taxes/penalties on the outstanding balance or should I take a withdrawal? Or would it be better to get a loan to pay back the 401k loan balance?
Thank you
I got the check 401k from Amazon but I’m confused on this I think I’ll have too call and ask them if it will affect me if I deposited too Bank of America but I want too transfer it with my new job and they took like 70 bucks from me for getting the check out
VTI (VTSAX) at Vanguard is what I would roll into. I think he mentioned it but mispronounced it.
What are the risks ?
This video is very interesting and well explanatory. Please, how to reach out to you? Thanks
I only have 5K from 1 year at the job. The job I’m leaving to will be another temporary company because I’m going back to school. Also they told me if I cash out it will only be 2900. What would you do

So you are employees and you join to have open 401k accounts with company and every pay checks out of your checks? another word if open 401k with company does affect you pay checks? or totally different from your weekly or monthly income? Please reply
Love this!
I have a theory, if I’m 22 years old and have 7k+ into my work 401k. I’m leaving my current work place in the next couple and and working at a real estate firm. I was thinking of using the money to help for a down payment on a house, or I might use it for remodeling. Currently I have 8k saved up for an investment property. What do you think. I already have a Roth IRA and contribute weekly with a target price im happy with.
It's been 5 months since I "left" my workplace, but still have yet to contact the company that's got my 401(k) money. Should I be worried what happens to my money? And what do you suggest to do? My friends all seem to say just convert it to a Roth IRA!
I have a good 401k plan through Vanguard that i have been in over 15-years and it has done quite well, getting ready to start a new job that has a 401k but i read about it (ADP) and it seems pretty crappy .. should i just leave it in the Vanguard 401k and can i leave it there till i retire? I am only 52
At 6:52, is "VTSA" this index fund? It is the only result that came up when typing in those letters on the Finance Yahoo site: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VTSAX
Excellent video! Thank you for clear explanation and review of the options 3 times during the video! You’re an excellent teacher!
Didn’t you leave out the option of completely or partially cashing out you 401k because I would like some information on it
I'm currently torn ..What would you do with a measly $400 in a 401k? Just started contributed $50/week less than 3 months ago, and now starting a new job tomorrow. It's hardly anything and I don't know what's my best move, what's your advice?
I got a question: An old job cashed out my 401k way back in 2012 cause, it wasn't enough or something. They tried sending me a check back in 2012 which I never got cause I moved. I got them to reissue the check to me in 2019. I received and spent. How would this impact my 2019 taxes? Or do I file an amended 2012 return? Additionally, I didn't cash out my 401k money, my old job did so, shouldn't I be exempt from penalty?
My previous employer say I have 5 years to make a decision….I am going to retire early with spousal benefits. So I don’t know what to do. I believe I have to leave it in a 401k until I retire. Or full retirement which is 67….I’m going to be 60 in October….and like I said retire early
liked and sub Great video on 401k. Stop by my channel. thanks.
