We are in the process of consolidating accounts for a new client and moving them over to Charles Schwab where we custody - all straight forward stuff. The client has an old 401k from a previous employer and filled out the paperwork with that 401k to roll it to Schwab. So about $470k hit her Schwab account last week. And then exactly 7 days later, another $460k hits again. Both from the 401k custodian. But her account was only $470k. I think they messed up royally. Now what???

They'll have a debit on their side and eventually figure it all out. You may want to be proactive and reach out just so you can get on with your allocation.

This is one of the very few things in our business that doesn't take extra steps, signatures, or really any action at all from us. They 100% will sweep those funds out ASAP. I wouldn't be surprised if the funds were gone in the morning. I'm not sure what your new investment plans are but if you are going into a managed portfolio I would highly recommend placing the duplicate funds under protection. Just to be sure The manager only trades the value your client actually owns. If you're placing into brokerage, just picking some stocks, etc.. I wouldn't worry too much, but as a courtesy, I do agree you should place a call to the 401k management company, give them a heads up on the contribution error. I'm sure they'll have no issue speaking directly to you, being that it regards the receipt of funds. Good luck!

I actually had a client who had twice what she thought she had… two accounts… exact same investment… one paper statement one electronically…inheritance and she never actually realized until one year I asked her about the two 1099’s she was getting at tax time.

No wonder the client is moving out! What dysfunction?!

Going on two weeks and they still haven’t caught the problem or reached out. Client doesn’t want to call them… it’s both hilarious and a bit concerning.

New.

Still have not carved back the money. Moved it into a separate IRA that is 100% cash for the time being.

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

Home reno financing question. Have a big project coming up in the $120-150k range. Funding sources are:
- 90k from a heloc around prime
- 10k from a credit card that offers promo checks at 2-3% for 12-18 months
- 375k in a brokerage
- 5-6k per month cash that I can put towards the project, loans, or brokerage

I don't want to stop funding the brokerage because my FIRE plan is less numbers based than "hoard like dragon until it's enough" but maybe I should... How would you optimize?
