Today’s show schedule:
1:55 – Mailbag Question #1: I’m a younger worker with a tiny nest egg with decades of working ahead of me. Given the recent tumult in the global economy, what can I do to protect the little egg that I have but also to continue growing?
3:14 – How much do you worry about someone’s risk tolerance when they are a younger worker?
4:08 – Mailbag Question #2: I’m tired of having five rental properties, so I’m going to sell at least three, and maybe all five. I have quite a bit of equity in these properties, so the question is how should I invest this money after I sell?
6:05 – Mailbag Question #3: I haven’t wanted to pay off my house because it’s one of the few tax deductions I have left. But I do have the money to just pay it off—should I?
7:05 – Mailbag Question #4: I retired two years ago with more than a million dollars in my IRA, which I thought at the time would be more than enough to give me the retirement lifestyle that I want. But it makes me nervous every time I withdraw money from that account because I don’t want to live too long and run out of money. And the recent downturn makes it worse. Am I worrying too much?
8:51 – Mailbag Question #5: I’ve heard that I should be saving 10% of my income toward retirement. Does that sound accurate? I’m in my 50s, so I need to be sure I’m doing this right.
10:17 – Mailbag Question #6: I make too much money to contribute to an IRA or a Roth. What’s the best way for me to save for retirement?
11:50 – Mailbag Question #7: My financial advisor is older than me. Should I move to someone else who won’t retire before I do?
