Time to clean out the attic of your 401(k)?

I admit it. I’m a week or so early for the Vernal Equinox. This year it falls on March 20^th, marking the first day of spring. With spring comes the inevitable urge to clean. Clean the attic, clean the garage, clean the yard, clean whatever stands in the way between the gray ruin of the winter past and the bright sunny joy of the coming summer. What applies to household just as fairly applies to our workplace. And within our workplace resides our most favorite of things: the 401k plan.
