A Large Financial Windfall and Disability Insurance

Digging out from under our pile of calls and emails has been a struggle all year long, and there’s really no end in sight. It’s definitely a good problem to have and one that will certainly lead to more shows like today’s episode that only features questions from you, our fabulous listeners!

If you like what you hear, please let us know by sending a quick note or by leaving a comment in iTunes.

First up this week was Lisa from the Bay Area who is having a terribly hard time getting disability insurance. She’s young, healthy, has a good job...so what’s the issue? Wait till you hear this one.

After Lisa we jumped into a variety of emails. We talked about saving for a house downpayment versus saving for retirement, transferring a 401(k) into an annuity (NO!!!), the benefits of using a Roth 401(k) and a Roth IRA, and the best places for short-term investments.

After the emails we went back to the phones and took an inheritance call from Jenny in Seattle. We’ve been taking listener calls for just about eight years now...I can easily say that this will go down as one of the most memorable calls in the history of my podcast and radio show. Me writing about it will do it no justice so you’re going to have to listen. It was incredible.

Have the recent market swings freaked you out? Listen to the wisdom of CPA and CFP Michael Goodman and you will likely feel a lot better. Michael is the President of Wealthstream Advisors and began his career in financial services as a CPA, before opening the doors to his own financial planning and investment management firm.

When those white-knuckle market gyrations occur, Michael says go back to the basics and remind yourself why you are investing and what your long terms goals are. He also makes the case that some people do not need advisors and can go it on their own.

Allison's husband is in the market for disability insurance, but when we were able to dive into the details of their lives, it became clear that there were many more issues than DI!

Brian needed advice about how to maximize his retirement plan contributions and Paul asked about consolidating retirement accounts.
