Tip At some point, you may want to shift money from one retirement account to another, like moving the money in a 401(k) from your old job to a Roth IRA. (The technical way to say this is that you want to roll over your 401(k).) Be warned: These moves can be tricky. The IRS has a handy chart that shows which accounts can roll over into other accounts: http://tinyurl.com/IRS-ropdf. For more info, read the Get Rich Slowly article at http://tinyurl.com/GRS-401kmove and contact a financial planner (see How to open a Roth IRA account).
