QP asked: I have recently changed jobs and would like to know if the annual limit still applies to my 401K.
For example, year to date I’ve contributed $10K to my previous employer’s 401K plan. does this mea my 401K contribution for the year with the new employer should be less than 5.5K?

whatda asked: So, if I intend to leave my current company in a year & move my 401K into another 401K or IRA option, does it make sense to just keep everything in a money market fund? Would I have to stay with the same funds for 5 or more years to reap any benefits from the stock market? Thanks.Question posted courtesy of: Darlene
