The Most Common 401k Mistakes


Listen Later

The 401(k) ​is ​a ​great ​tool. ​It's ​easy ​and ​painless, ​which makes it a ​great ​way ​to ​build ​our ​savings. But ​it's ​also ​easy ​and ​painless, ​which also ​means ​we ​ ​tend ​to ​forget ​about it ​for ​long ​periods ​of ​time. Today we're going to talk about a few of the places where people make mistakes with their 401(k).

Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

  • Why it's usually better to move money out of an old employer plan.
  • Don't leave money on the table by not taking advantage of a company match.
  • Target date funds aren't usually the best way to customize a portfolio.
  • Your portfolio needs to be rebalanced as you closer to retirement.
  • Your 401k might have higher costs than you realize.
