Is it even worth consolidating 401k accounts etc every time you get new jerb?

It's better to roll them all into an IRA at a regular brokerage. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5754937&forum_id=2#49133082) |

Date: July 26th, 2025 4:47 PM Author: rose garrison Aren’t the fees percentage-based, though? Also, can I have my new employer’s matching contributions go into a regular brokerage account of my choosing instead of their default platform? Or is it better to roll all my old 401(k)s into an IRA with a brokerage I like, and just let the current employer’s 401(k) stay with whatever provider they use?

Advantage of rolling prior stuff into IRA instead of new jerb 401k is IRA has broader investment options |

Date: July 26th, 2025 4:56 PM Author: aquamarine at-the-ready station pozpig Percentage based fees are terrible if you have any real money in the account. You are stuck with using whatever 401k provider your company uses until you are no longer with the company. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5754937&forum_id=2#49133138) |
