Description

"I’ve got about $400,000 in an old 401(k) from a job I left years ago. Should I leave it where it is or roll it into something else now that I’m 55?" We're answering YOUR questions on this week's Get Ready For The Future Show!



  • I’m 61 and worried about inflation eating into our savings. We’ve got about $850,000 saved, but how do we protect our purchasing power without taking on too much risk?

  • We’re 57 and got spooked by the market last year. We moved a big chunk of money into cash. Now we’re not sure when—or if—we should get back in. Did we mess up?

  • We’re 63 and have some cash in the bank that we don’t need right away. Is it better to park it in a high-yield savings account or invest it for growth?


And if you've got a question you want answered on the show, call or text 501.381.5228! Or email your question to show@getreadyforthefuture.com!
