Journey2Retirement has a very personal cautionary tale about rolling over a 401K plan into your new employer’s plan. I thought this was a very important article about doing your due diligence before going to a new company. My additional tip is that you usually have 90 days to take a rollover withdrawl from your old [...]

Last week, I got to see my favorite opera, “The Magic Flute” by Mozart at Wolf Trap. Normally I don’t care for German operas, but the Queen of the Night aria is spectacular. The Pamina role was fantastic, we all agreed she was the best singer in the production we saw. I was worried about [...]
