13306233, Mannn I put off rolling over my 401k for too long.

Nearly a year and a half. Then when I did it in the middle of last year, it did well for like 2 months then shit started dipping in the market. Was not thrilled about that. But obviously it's a long term thing so I'm fine with it/glad it's at least being actively managed. But man in 2017 and the early part of 2018 I missed out on some serious money by letting it sit there idle w/my old company.

I recently opened up a GS Marcus savings account to stash some cash til the market steadies a little more. Last I checked it was getting like 2.25% APY. So I'm happy with that while I try and figure out what the next play is with my savings. I'm so weary of the market right now even though the events of Oct/Nov seem like minor blips at the moment.
