Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans have inactive 401(k)s worth thousands of dollars? Don't let your hard-earned money go to waste! Here's how to reclaim yours.

How to find a lost 401(k):

1. Contact your old employer's HR department

2. Check old 401(k) statements for account details

3. Use look-up databases like the National Registry of Unclaimed Retirement Benefits or the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators

4. Check the Department of Labor's abandoned plan database

-Request a direct rollover to your new employer's plan

-Transfer the funds into an existing IRA

-Cash it out (but beware of taxes and penalties)

-Investigate other safe investment options
