What I think you're saying is that you want to move the money to a safe place. There's a lot of confusion over this because people think that a 401(k) or an IRA is synonymous with stocks. In reality, those accounts are just the basket for your contributions — you can invest the money any way you like. At your age, you should only have about 40 percent of that money in stocks. The rest can be in safer places, like the money market option within your 401(k).
