Edward Jones Investments - Mandi Kosbab<br />
(507) 235-8524 - Member SIPC<br />
You may switch jobs several times during<br />
your career, so you’ll want to be prepared. Here’s a checklist of steps that<br />
may smooth these transitions and help your financial situation: First, not all<br />
job changes are voluntary, so you’ll need to have a cash cushion handy. Keep<br />
about three to six months’ worth of living expenses in a liquid, low-risk account.<br />
Next, consider your options for your former employer’s retirement<br />
plan. You may be able to leave it in your current plan, move it over to your<br />
new employer’s plan, or roll it to an IRA. Also, evaluate the investments available<br />
in your new employer’s 401(k) or other plan. Choose the ones most appropriate<br />
for your goals and risk tolerance. One more suggestion: Make sure<br />
you’ve got health insurance. Your new employer’s coverage may not kick in<br />
right away, so you may need to consider the federal health insurance marketplace<br />
or private insurance, unless you can be covered under your spouse’s<br />
plan. Starting a new job can be exciting and challenging. But you may be able<br />
to make your life easier by putting these suggestions to work.<br />
