For some people, planning for retirement can feel like trying to eat an elephant; but, it doesn’t have to be that way. Before making big decisions, it’s always important to get the ducks lined-up first.
You’ve just inherited an IRA from someone not your spouse… usually a parent. Guess what! Your rules are different.
If you’ve changed jobs or are getting ready to retire, don’t leave your old retirement account behind. Rolling over your employer-sponsored plan—like a 401(k) or 403(b)—into an IRA or new employer’s plan keeps your money growing tax-deferred and gives you more control over your investments.
