Episode #17 - What should you do with that old 401k?

Have an old 401k from a previous employer? Wondering what to do with it?

In episode 17, we're discussing what your options are for your old 401k.

Kyle hops on the mic with Financial Advisor, Ethan Hutcheson, AAMS® of Metcalf Partners Wealth Management and they discuss:

  1. What exactly is a 401k
  2. What are your options when you change employers
  3. The pros and cons of those options
  4. Unique situations to consider
  5. Their typical preferences for old 401k accounts

There are important things to consider like taxes and your income when deciding what to do with that old 401k (or 403b, or TSP).

Before they dive into the topic, they discuss their favorite memories from K-State (pretty epic), good books you should check out, sports they wish they would have tried (apparently there are only two places in the U.S. where Kyle can try it out), and.... poop. Yep, we said it, poop.

Don't flench because you don't want to miss this!

To skip the fluff, go to the 30:30 mark. However, it's not advised!
