Keep retirement account in firm 401k or roll over to an IRA when you leave the firm? If latter, do you have a good financial manager or do you not use one?

I would never keep it in a 401k at a big 4...the investment options are super limited due to independence concerns and you can get a lot better variety rolling over to a personal IRA.

Personally, for my retirement investments, I just put it all in a few different low fee index funds so I don’t have any need for a financial manager, but do what you think you need to do.

I recognize this is not a very good approach for someone with money "knowledge" and I would like to change this mindset. My main weakness is that I easily get bored of following the market and that I do not see big opportunities. Any advice?
Where to start learning, general advice for LT and ST investments, things you learnt, books that changed your pov on the topic etc.

Thx!

2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.
