Before she retires next month at age 52, Rowan in Georgia wonders how to maximize growth in her IRA, which will be funded with 72(t) early retirement withdrawals. What do Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA think of her substantially equal periodic payment plan? And how should she allocate it? Michael in Virginia isn’t interested in any international investments and is instead invested in stocks like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Berkshire. What adjustments would the fellas make to his portfolio for long term growth? That’s today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 533. Plus, our friend Will, who is not a gas siphoner, wants Joe and Big Al’s opinion on "backdoor Rothing" his solo 401(k) instead of having an emergency fund, and on what he should do with his annuity. Also, the fellas explain ESOP and NUA - that is, employee stock ownership plans and net unrealized appreciation - for Tess and Finn in Texas.
