I am a US Citizen living/working in Ireland for 7 years.
I had a 401k for a number of years at my job in the US, prior to moving to Ireland. It currently has about 100k in it. I am no longer making contributions to this.
I am also contributing to and Irish pension via my employer here in Ireland.
My partner and I just bought a house in Ireland and obviously planning on being here for awhile.
What's the best thing to do with the 100k in the US 401k plan, with the goal to try and retire with as much money as possible? Can I transfer it to my current pension? Should I? Should I leave it and let it grow on its own?
After the house purchase, my partner and I still have 5-6 months net salary in savings (combined for both of us). So really just trying to figure out the best way to maximize the 100k sitting in the US 401k that I am no longer contributing to.
