401(k) Roth Rule Change + Balancing Pensions and Roth IRAs


In this episode of Money Matters, Scott and Pat break down a big shift for higher earners: the new 401(k) Roth rule that changes how catch-up contributions work. If you’re over 50 and earning a solid income, this could seriously affect your retirement plan.

They also cover smarter tax strategies and take listener calls. A recent retiree wonders if buying a rental property makes sense. Then, Scott and Pat help a man from Virginia with a textbook example of how to balance pensions, Roth IRAs, and tax diversification as retirement nears.

Whether you're saving, converting, or rethinking your retirement goals, this episode brings clarity, strategy, and a dose of straight talk.
