Markets look strong—but are they too perfect? On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat explore how to stress test your financial plan so it can hold up in the real world. They take a call from a 63-year-old retiree with a $6 million portfolio who’s rethinking his Roth conversions and Social Security timing, then talk with a 47-year-old state employee balancing burnout, real estate, and early retirement goals. Finally, Allworth’s Head of Wealth Planning, Victoria Bogner, joins to explain how taxes, Medicare, and market strategy all connect inside a resilient financial plan. If you’ve ever wondered whether your financial plan could weather a true market test, this episode delivers clarity, humor, and timeless perspective.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
