A forgotten 401(k) can create more problems than people realize. In this episode, Tad and the team walk through what happens when you leave old retirement accounts behind- and why confusion around rollovers, taxes, and required minimum distributions is so common. They break down the rules in plain English, explain how rollovers can be done without triggering taxes, and share examples of how disorganization can lead to unnecessary stress in retirement. 

The conversation wraps up with a lighthearted discussion about early video games, particularly the classic Pong.

Here’s what we discuss in today’s show:

💼 Why old 401(k)s often get overlooked

🔄 When and how rollovers actually work

🧾 Avoiding unnecessary taxes

📉 The chaos multiple RMDs can create

🧠 Why “common financial knowledge” often isn’t
