4 New Year's resolutions for retirement savers

Resolution no. 1: Don't cash out, or leave behind, your 401(k) — Roll it into your current plan

Lifetime participation in your employer-sponsored plan is the best way to save enough money for a comfortable retirement, which is why savers who cash out their 401(k) accounts at the point of job change are making a very costly mistake.

Our firm's proprietary research has found that a hypothetical 30-year-old who cashes out a $5,000 401(k) balance today will forfeit as much as $52,000 in lost earnings that he/she would have received by age 65 (assuming the account would grow 7% per year).
