    How Do I Closeout a 401k Account? (Be smart)

    If you are an employee of a business that offers 401k plans, take notice before jumping in. If you are currently participating in a 401k, and have “saved” for years, then you must really read and watch now. The fallout around the 401k and worker retirement planning is massive. You’ll see that in this real-life video.

    Closing out a 401k account could be the smartest thing you do this year. With the US deficit growing, the dollar value shrinking and the feds printing money like everyday is Christmas, you’d better be prepared for (another) big melt-down in the economy in the next few years.

    Staying in a 401k can and will kill your last dreams of a happy retirement. (again, watch the video).

    The employee contribution and (optional) matching of dollars from employers into the 401k plans rises and falls with the economy. You essentially have no control, which is the worst place you can be as an investor.

    US citizens have lost millions of dollars in the portfolios over years of letting the institutions (Fidelity, for example) manage their money. Not only do you have no control, but there are many fees taken away (stolen from you) that are not disclosed. They are making boatloads of money, but you aren’t! However, do not over-react and just pull the money out of your 401k.

    Be smart about it, and learn about investing, entrepreneur-ship, business and real estate. These are powerful instruments or markets, and you should get help before diving in. Consider learning about financial education, get a mentor, and read more about it. And, if you want to increase business opportunities in your local markets, register for a small business webinar.

    About Jon Rognerud

    I came to this country over 25 years ago as a musician (guitar and lead vocals). While I was playing in Los Angeles / Hollywood and working in recording studio sessions, I found a job with a technology company in Culver City. The music didn't pay the bills, but software sure did! I learned to program in several software languages and began helping people and companies with software applications and database problems.

    Today, I am a full-time Internet Marketer and consultant. I published my first web page in 1995. Since I was programming using Microsoft Technology at the time, and had been for 10 years up to that point, I thought HTML (using a Netscape browser) was ridiculous. Continue Reading
