Before You Touch Your 401k After Leaving A Job Watch This First

from Savvy Women Talk Money

That old 401(k) you've been meaning to deal with? It might be one of the most overlooked—and expensive—decisions you'll make. In this episode, Catherine and Rachel uncover what really happens when you leave a job and why a simple rollover isn't always so simple. Behind the scenes, there are tax traps, missed opportunities, and strategic windows that most people never see coming. They break down your three core options—but more importantly, reveal what smart planning looks like before you touch anything. From forgotten accounts and hidden Roth dollars to powerful strategies like NUA for company stock and timing Roth conversions in low-income years, this conversation is packed with insights that can change the trajectory of your wealth. And just when you think you've got it handled—enter Medicare surcharges, future RMDs, and tax ripple effects that can quietly erode your plan. This isn't about paperwork. It's about making one decision… the right way. If you've changed jobs—or will—don't make a move until you hear this.
