I’ll check out the rollover thing. I’m afraid that money
anywhere may be “up for grabs”. I’m still working but
with the announced cuts in defense, maybe not for long.

My husband might be unemployed, too.

You have to quit a job first in order to roll the 401K money over - so I hope you do not need to do that! If they start in with the confiscation of prior earnings, not just taxing present earnings, then as you say - all money will be up for grabs. There are a few things about rollovers that 'might' make them safer than 401Ks - such as being able to buy annuities in them and the ease of moving that money around as often as one wants. A moving target is harder to catch!
