I have a 457b account with a former employer. I haven't found very much information about them, and I want to know if I should leave the money in this account or transfer it into a roth.
If you had the 457b with a state or local government you can rollover into traditional IRA, 403b, 401k, or another governmental 457b. If your 457b was with a private tax-exempt company then you only have the option to rollover into another non-governmental 457b. Depending on how much you had in the account it may be best to leave the money where it is.
Short answer from investopedia ( https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/111615/457-plans-and-403b-plans-comparison.asp ):
If you need more time to put aside money for retirement, a 457 plan is best for you. It has a better catch-up policy and will allow you to stash away more money for retirement. A 403(b) is likely to be your best bet if you want a larger array of investment options.
Also, you can withdraw your 457 when you separate from your employer independent of your age or retirement status following separation.

I am retired not wealthy but I have been receiving a fixed income in a world where the prices keep rising. I have tried several things, but since I am getting older, I realize that I need more income, but not an income where I have to produce more and more to keep up. Until a few months back, I had no idea how could I get some extra cash. So, I needed to find some things that an old guy like me can do to make money without having to do it forever. I am glad I found ‘SYNOD’ I sent then a message via email: synod @ tutanota . com through them I cash out regularly, they built my cash portfolio from $50k to $300k in just 2 months through trading. They traded my money and got back interests up to 120%. Since I made this discovery I’ve had a pretty wonderful retirement.
Thanks
I believe they offer relatively adequate employer match contributions because the employer is the government I believe. I’m curious if you can apply for a loan against your balance like the 401k.
