Half-Baked Financial Ideas
Manage episode 432106807 series 1507600
We’ve all had an idea that we acted on without giving it much thought. That’s fine when you’re choosing dinner or picking out new socks, but it’s not the best approach to managing your finances.
In the latest episode of the Money Wisdom podcast, Matt Pastor, RICP® tackles the topic of "half-baked" financial ideas. These are the types of decisions that might seem clever at first glance but can have significant negative consequences if not thoroughly thought through.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- Why signing your house over to your kid(s) while you’re still alive might not be the best plan.
- Starting your Social Security as early as possible while you’re still working could cause you to lose some of your benefits.
- Converting all of your IRA money into a Roth at the same time.
- Why you might not want to cancel your life insurance once you’re retired.
- Investing your emergency fund money to get a better return.
