It took me a year and a half to roll over my 401(k) into a traditional IRA. After 3 years at my current employer, they've finally decided to add contributions to our 401(k) plans. I'm so excited! I thought of reducing my contribution by the amount my employer contributes, but have decided against it. I'd rather have too much in there than not enough. Plus, I have a little catching up to do since I underfunded my retirement at the beginning of my career and suspended contributions during 2008 and 2009.
