- A digress--what are the benefits of rolling an old 401K to a new 401K
- when the money can be left in an IRA? One has more investment options
- for IRA's and can withdraw the money with 10% penalty and income tax.
- 401K won't allow distribution even if you are willing to pay penalty
- (right?) I doubt the new employer would match anything for the rollover
- amount. So, why put the money into a more restrictive account?

- [I have a 403b account. So, I don't know the detail about 401K; but
- i heard the two are very similar.]
