A Fool’s Game

On this week's Money Matters, Scott and Pat discuss the challenges of making financial decisions with aging parents and speak with several callers concerned about the presidential election impacting their investments.   Scott and Pat advise a California man with $1.5 million saved about a potential Roth conversion. A caller asks if he should convert some of the money in his 401(k) to cash before the presidential election. A retired caller asks if his wife should claim her Social Security benefit at age 62. A caller invested in target-date funds asks if a financial advisor is worth their fees. Finally, an 83-year-old tap dancer asks if she should buy an annuity for $300,000.   Click here to register for our 7 Personal Decision Points virtual retirement planning workshop.   Ask a question by clicking here, or email Scott and Pat at [email protected].   Download and rate our podcast here.
