401k

Yeah, I'm going to stick with my advice for the Roth IRA to come first. The benefits are known whereas your work status is not known. It also eliminates the possibility of a crappy situation, such as if your courseload increased and you wanted to quit working to focus on school but then you had the 401k and pushed yourself to continue working so you didn't lose the match, all while your school work suffered because of it. source

I recently started a new job and have a 401k from my previous employer that I don't know what to do with. Should I roll it into my new employer's 401k, a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA? source

Most companies will allow a full payoff on a 401k loan. Call your 401k provider to obtain the details for making the payment. source

This is obviously a self-selected group of people who are reasonably pleased with their 401k balances. The fact that there has been only 8 responses in over one month suggests to me that most people are sucking wind or have already cashed out. source
