Switching firms. Currently have money sitting in a 401k account from previous employer. Thinking about what I should do with it. Move it over to the new employer 401k? Traditional or Roth IRA?

If you move to a Roth, it’s entirely counted as income, so you’ll have a large tax bill (depending on the balance). Your new employers 401k will have a limited investment menu, so if you’re okay with that, you could role it in. If you want access to invest in anything, a rollover IRA would be your best bet.

Thanks I may opt for the rollover IRA

Also depends if you want access to backdoor roth. If you’re in a higher income bracket and wanting to do Roth contributions , I might recommend leaving it or rolling to new 401k that would allow you to continue this strategy. If this isn’t an issue, IRA is probably your best bet.

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
