I'm considering changing jobs from a full time employee with my current company to working as a 1099 with a different company (with a substantial raise). My questions are I have a 401k with my company, do I just roll that over to an IRA or can I continue to contribute to it as it is? As far as health insurance goes, where's the best place to find an individual plan? I'm sure I'm missing some questions but I'll hang up and listen now

Roll it over into a IRA you will have more control
Find a good financial advisor

and welcome to the world of obama care

I hope the money is very signficiant to offset insurance and keep in mind when self employed you pay SE tax

I did the same thing last year and I paid like 6k in SE tax. It stung pretty good. I got really good health insurance for a family of 4 for $1200 a month which I write off. Get a good work with you accountant. You need to buy assets with your money so you can write stuff off otherwise you will pay a ton in taxes.
