Should I Move My 401k to a Roth IRA? (Your Letters)

You have money in an old 401k and would prefer to have that money in your Roth IRA. Should you make that move? How do you accomplish that goal? That’s one of the many letters we tackle on today’s podcast! We’ll also talk about investing in other countries, differences in investing for men and women, talk through how pensions work, and much more. Our listener letters are always some of our most entertaining and wide-ranging episodes, and you don’t disappoint today.

A superstar is in trouble with a credit card company. We’ll share strategies to help you handle YOUR debt a little less “fancy” than this singer. Also, we’ll talk about some big news for baby boomers, throw out the Haven Life Line, feature some hair-raising trivia from Doug, and more.
