Re: IRA to 401K Roll In Rules, 60 Days, Vanguard Screw Ups
Frustrated out of my mind. If anyone is considering Vanguard as an investment option, steer clear. RUN THE OTHER DIRECTION AS FAST AS YOU CAN. Interesting, but i understand you had a bad experience. A lot of people here are happy with Vanguard including myself. My complain is that they don't have a live chat option. But when i call, i noticed that reps are very knowledgeable indeed. Yeah, there's always a small percentage who will never have any issues. I just try to warn people about what they may be facing. Respectfully, I think you are mistaken about which side is in the small percentage. The small percentage is the people that encounter problems of the magnitude you have. Sorry you were unlucky. You're wrong, sorry about that.

Re: IRA to 401K Roll In Rules, 60 Days, Vanguard Screw Ups
Several points. Almost all rollovers between institutions are by check. You should be doing a direct rollover? Are you? The fact that they mail you a check does not make it an indirect rollover unless it is made out to you personally. Even if it were to be an indirect rollover, the 60-day clock does not start until the day you receive the check. I was trying to do a direct rollover. I have no idea who the first two checks were made out to because I never got them. Those were returned due to a wrong address. I finally got the third check but it was made out to me. I specifically put Fidelity in Vanguard's distribution form as well as all of the correct information. They confirmed that this morning. I have no idea why they suck so bad with h...

It depends on how secure you are in your understanding of your value to your employer. I had 50 years of creditable work history on my SS statement when I retired and never once worked for free, even though almost every employer not only asked me to, but in some cases said it was required. I will qualify that statement in that only my last three jobs could be classified as "management" and only my last one was salaried. Early on while working hourly I was often told that non-paid extra work was required, but regardless of what others did, I never complied yet never got in trouble for it or ever faced dismissal. It was somewhat ironic that co-workers were often angry with me for not giving away my labor, when they should have been...

Realistically you'll probably have to quit if it bothers you.

The ones who were deadset against it stated their case, were either told to shut up or given no reply at all. They eventually quit.

Re: Holding bonds vs 100% equities
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the big elephant: At some point, one has enough and is old enough that there's no NEED to take additional risk. You may WANT to be 100% stocks, but you don't NEED to be. That time will obviously be different depending on the investor. But for many here who have saved well and are in their late 40s or 50s, bonds (or other fixed income) are used because they do not need an extra 1, 2, or even 3% return that might be offered by a 90 or 100% stock allocation, with commensurate risk. (I'm not speaking of the ultra-high-net-worth set who have so much that even 100% stocks is not risky.) When you're young, the compounding of that extra percent or two can make a big difference in your portfolio. And, when you're ...
