On this week’s Money Matters: We welcome new listeners in Los Angeles (KEIB), San Diego (KOGO) and Denver (KOA)! The episode begins with a couple asking Scott and Pat how to prepare for a retirement that seems to be approaching too fast. Then we receive a call about whether it’s better to let the state or a financial advisor manage one’s 457, which leads to a discussion about how to check the quality of your financial advisor. Lastly, a call about the benefits of paying off the mortgage before retirement.   Scott Hanson and Pat McClain have been hosting Hanson McClain’s Money Matters radio show for 20 years, and have answered questions from thousands of callers on a variety of financial topics.    Ask a question at moneymatters.com, or email Scott and Pat at [email protected].
