Frequently asked questions

What should I do with my old 401(k) when I change jobs?

You typically have several options, including leaving it with your old employer, cashing it out (often with penalties), rolling it into your new employer’s plan, or rolling it into an IRA. We’ll help you weigh the pros and cons of each to make the most financially advantageous decision.

How does a new job affect my health, life, and disability insurance?

A job change often means new benefits packages. We’ll help you evaluate your new employer’s offerings, ensure there are no gaps in coverage, and assist in replacing or supplementing policies like health, life, and disability insurance to maintain your protection.

Can you help me adjust my budget for a new salary or income level?

Absolutely. A change in income is a perfect time to re-evaluate your budget. We’ll help you optimize your spending, identify new savings opportunities, and adjust your financial plan to align with your new financial reality and goals.

Beyond my paycheck, what other financial steps should I consider after starting a new job?

Beyond salary, consider updating your beneficiaries, reviewing stock options or equity plans, understanding new retirement plan contributions, and reassessing your overall financial goals. We’ll help you create a comprehensive checklist for your smooth transition.
