It’s the most wonderful time of the year, time to make money saving and headache-preventing moves before we roll into 2020.
Should I Get Another Annuity?
You have an annuity that's coming due and you're not quite sure what to do with it. Should you get another annuity? Should you roll it over into an IRA? That't the discussion with Mark from Buffalo as we discuss some of the pros and cons.

Should I Diversify?
We start the show this week with Pam from Texas who is already retired and wondering if it makes sense to start converting some of her traditional IRA assets?
Next up was Ann from Colorado who falls under the category of real estate rich and cash poor. Ann is making a killing in real estate, but she’s definitely in need of some diversification.
In hour two I’m joined by Dave Stachowiak, a long distance friend of mine (we still haven’t met in person!) and host of the popular Coaching for Leaders podcast, a show aimed at helping you discover leadership wisdom through insightful conversations.
The workplace landscape is full of people wondering:
What am I supposed to do to create a vision for my team?
How do I get better feedback from my stakeholders?
Where do I start in holding a difficult employee accountable?
When's the right time to make the next move in my career?
How can I successfully manage my former peers?
If that describes you, there is hope, as it's a myth that leadership skills can't be learned.
Almost nobody is a born leader. Most leaders learn how to lead through the school of hard knocks, good training, years of hard work, effective coaching, and great mentors.
It’s no surprise that the most effective leaders have always known that investing in their leadership skills will pay off, big time. That's why many leaders have invested in coaching, executive MBA programs, and conferences.
We all have the potential. Anyone can learn to lead teams, companies, non-profits, and especially their own family.

Roth IRA or 403(b)
Having options is a good thing, especially when it comes to your investments. That's what prompted Lauren from New York City to reach out. Should she be contributing to her 403(b) or her Roth IRA? Or should she be using a regular brokerage account?

What to Do with Old Retirement Plan?
Most people nowadays have an old retirement account out there from a previous employer. What should you do with it? Leave it where it is? Roll it over into the new plan? Put it into a rollover IRA? That was the discussion as we kicked things off with Nate from Texas.
Sticking with retirement plans, when does it make sense to starting converting a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA? That’s what Steve from Minnesota wanted to discuss.
When fast-scaling startups and global organizations get stuck, they call our guest in hour two, Aaron Dignan.
In his recently released book, Brave New Work: Are You Ready to Reinvent Your Organization?, he reveals his proven approach for eliminating red tape, dissolving bureaucracy, and doing the best work of your life.
He’s found that nearly everyone, from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, points to the same frustrations: lack of trust, bottlenecks in decision making, siloed functions and teams, meeting and email overload, tiresome budgeting, short-term thinking, and more.
Is there any hope for a solution? Haven’t countless business gurus promised the answer, yet changed almost nothing about the way we work?
That’s because we fail to recognize that organizations aren’t machines to be predicted and controlled. They’re complex human systems full of potential waiting to be released.
Dignan says you can’t fix a team, department, or organization by tinkering around the edges. Over the years, he has helped his clients completely reinvent their operating systems, the fundamental principles and practices that shape their culture, with extraordinary success.
In Brave New Work you’ll learn exactly how organizations are inventing a smarter, healthier, and more effective way to work. Not through top down mandates, but through a groundswell of autonomy, trust, and transparency.

Roth vs. Traditional Retirement Plans
As more employers incorporate Roth options into work-based retirement accounts, many of you have written to ask which one is preferable. As always, the answer depends on your situation. The big difference between a traditional retirement option and a Roth is about when you pay taxes. With a traditional option, you pay in the future and with a Roth, you pay today.
Should I Do a Backdoor Roth?
We kick things off this week with one of the more popular questions we receive: Does it make sense for me to do a backdoor Roth IRA?
Some times it’s a no-brainer, but there are definitely some factors that need to be considered. That’s the conversation in the first segment with Jeff from Chicago.
Next up was Chelsea from North Carolina with a question about when it makes sense to take advantage of post-tax retirement contributions.
Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They can have fun with friends and family without the obsessive urge to document the experience. They stay informed about the news of the day, but don't feel overwhelmed by it. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction.
Man oh man, that is music to my ears! That’s why I’m so excited about our guest this week in hour two, Cal Newport, with us to talk about his latest book, Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World.
Newport gives us a name for this quiet movement, and makes a persuasive case for its urgency in our tech-saturated world. Common sense tips, like turning off notifications, or occasional rituals like observing a digital sabbath, don't go far enough in helping us take back control of our technological lives, and attempts to unplug completely are complicated by the demands of family, friends and work. What we need instead is a thoughtful method to decide what tools to use, for what purposes, and under what conditions.
Drawing on a diverse array of real-life examples, from Amish farmers to harried parents to Silicon Valley programmers, Newport identifies the common practices of digital minimalists and the ideas that underpin them. He shows how digital minimalists are rethinking their relationship to social media, rediscovering the pleasures of the offline world, and reconnecting with their inner selves through regular periods of solitude.
Technology is intrinsically neither good nor bad. The key is using it to support your goals and values, rather than letting it use you. This book shows the way.

Roth Conversion and Rent vs Buy
We start the show this weekend with a call from Mike in the midwest who is wondering if it makes sense to start converting some of his traditional IRA money into a Roth.
Next up was Alan from the Bay Area with a question that never gets old: should I rent or should I buy? That’s the decision facing Alan and his wife.
The recent trend continues as hour two is nothing but emails as we continue to dig out from an overflowing inbox.

Should I Do a Roth Conversion?
When you leave a job, odds are you're going to have an old retirement plan out there. What should you do with it? You can usually leave it where it is, or roll it over into a traditional IRA, or, if the dollars are pre-tax contributions, consider converting it to a Roth IRA. That's the discussion on the latest call with Matt from Maryland.
