NEW JOB? FOUR CHOICES FOR YOUR EXISTING 401(K)

When you get a job with a new company, you have a decision to make. What are you going to do with the retirement savings you have built in your 401(k) plan? You have four options.

HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED TO RETIRE?

The statistics are staggering. The majority of Americans do not save for retirement or have not saved enough for retirement. Make sure you're taking these three steps to be financially prepared for your retirement.

CHECK YOUR 2017 WITHHOLDING

Withholding too much tax from your wages isn't wise in the long run. Try to match withholding as closely as possible to your actual tax liability for the year. Invest the extra money in yourself, not the IRS.

COLLEGE OR RETIREMENT – WHICH SHOULD YOU FUND FIRST?

Saving for your children's education or your own retirement – how do you decide which is more important? A typical retirement will generally last longer and cost more than your child's education. If you cannot adequately fund both, maximize your retirement savings first. There are far more options for your child to finance his or her college education than there are for you to fund your retirement.

CHECK YOUR CREDIT SCORE

Knowing your credit score can help you avoid a surprise when you attempt to apply for a loan or credit card.
