Advice needed from financially savvy ad people! I have three 401ks (too much job-hopping). There's one I actively contribute to and two that are from previous agencies. What is the best thing I can do with the extra two? I don't feel like they're best serving me the way they exist now. Thank you!

You should roll over the other two into a Rollover IRA. It’s never a good idea to leave 401(k)‘s at old companies because it’s too easy to forget about them and you also usually have more investment options with an IRA. It’s a pretty simple process. You can check out Fidelity.com. They explain fairly simply how to do this, just to give you an idea.

Just did this for my husband. Roll it over.

^Wunderman Thompson 1 nailed it. I just did the same a couple of weeks ago and opened a Fidelity rollover IRA account. It’s all pretty intuitive and the transition was smooth.

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
