Show Notes

In this episode, we’re opening up the listener mailbag to answer questions about distributions that you might need to take from an inheritance, combining old 401ks into an IRA, and how to invest for inflation and how to invest if you’re on the doorstep of retirement.

Each of these planning discussions are pretty common for most retirees and pre-retirees so there’s a good chance you’ll find yourself in the same or similar situations as the people that are asking these questions today. We hope this show will provide some great strategies to take away and implement in your situation.
