    A little 'collateral damage' is always acceptable when it comes to maintaining a lawn. ;-)

    Spent an hour at the coffee shop, read the local paper (they found the missing kid. Yay!), went for a walk, filled out the forms to get my 401k and another IRA consolidated into one account and sent them off, replaced the leaking toilet flapper valve, went for a walk, moved some rocks in the yard. Done at 10:15am.

    That was today's to-do list.

    Added laundry to the list. I'm borrowing from tomorrow's list.

    I have an IRA account with a financial company.

    I'm going through the process of getting my 401k transferred into that account. The 401k represents 23 years of contributions and growth.

    I'm finding it a bit unnerving that the 401k company is sending me a physical check that I will then have to forward to the IRA company.

    I have a gf who recently moved to a semi rural area and actually bought a deer feeder to attract them to her yard. She post pics of her 'morning visitors' on FB . Funny thing about that story... she loves exotic plants and her last yard could've been a centerfold in a gardening mag. She plans to do the same thing at this location. Am I the only one who sees this train wreck coming? :psychoitc:

    Deer will even eat "deer resistant" plants. Deer are dangerous tasty vermin. Her gardening phase is done.

    They will not let you authorize an electronic transfer?

    Well, you can always clean your gutters. That will get you to 10:45.

    The 401k company says that they make those transfers either way; by check or electronically, but it's not by their choice. It's the employer who sets the requirements for their plan. In my case, my former employer requires it be done by check.

    It's kinda funny to sit here and watch a relatively small bird chasing away an eagle.

    I guess that the crow(?) doesn't want its eggs eaten and the eagle doesn't want its tail feathers pulled out.

    Even in this day and age of electronics, paper trails! Make SURE you make a copy of the check, and when sending it to the new account, if mailing send it certified with instructions for deposit.

    The IRA company sent me a UPS next-day-air envelope to send it in. There is also a second option, that I'm considering. They say that if I download their app, I can take a picture of the check and just send them the image.

    I don't like apps, but I might do that, then uninstall the app after I send them the image.

    Said with a smile, you know not the life I lead, but for the tid bits I leave here for all to consume.

    I am very much looking forward to my own retirement. I can see my daily agenda looking much like what you posted, with a couple of other options thrown in.

    They must have a reason. The check will almost certainly get to you. Deposit it fast.
    Even if something goes wrong you will eventually get the funds.

    Maybe my former employer wants to discourage people from transferring out of the 401k?

    Maybe my former employer gets a kickback from the IRA company?
