Among his many pearls of wisdom, delivered with his awesome Long island accent, Ed reminded us to do the following before the clock strikes midnight on December 31, 2014:

  • Make your 2014 Roth IRA conversion
  • Be aware of new IRA rollover rules
  • Max out your retirement accounts
  • Take Required Minimum Distributions
  • Check / Update Beneficiary Forms
  • Be aware of stealth taxes
  • Consider donating your IRA distributions to charity
  • Use Your Gifting Limits

In the first hour of the show, we had a terrific call from Mike in Texas, Sharon in CT and Mike in Maryland, all of whom needed guidance on financial advisors.
