2) To be completely honest I am really intimidated by all of this, never having done it, nor knowing anyone who has done it. Hence why I havent touched my old 401k, which is with Fidelity in one of their target date funds. About a month after being hired on, my new company had their 401k review and the investment guy talked to me afterward about possible strategies.
3) thats alot of reading 
haha thanks |
1) Baird Financial is a HUGE firm with BILLIONS under management. Don't be afraid of them.
2) Read this thread from start to finish - take your time - and you'll be a lot less intimidated
3) It's YOUR future we're talking about... given the amount of time you have to live in retirement... the 400+ pages of this thread is childs play.
4) You have an obligation to yourself and your family to get a grip on your finances. It's EASY... and more importantly - IT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN EVER DO.
Like anything else - we all do things that we start out knowing nothing about. We all manage to educate ourselves about clutches - motors - tires - paint etc. Except that NONE of those are very important. Yet me manage to dive in and get involved.
