When leaving an employer, you have three options for your retirement account: leave the money in the old plan, cash it out, or roll it over into a new account. Rolling over is often the best choice as it consolidates funds and offers more investment options.
An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a tax-advantaged account with various investment opportunities, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs, and ETFs. The 2025 contribution limit for a traditional IRA is $7,000 for those under 50 and $8,000 for those 50 or older.
