Summary
In this episode of Money Matters, Scott and Pat explore three of the most underappreciated but powerful financial planning tools: Roth conversions, donor-advised funds, and bond funds. They break down when and how to use each of them—especially before year-end—to reduce taxes, improve portfolio efficiency, and boost long-term flexibility. You’ll hear real stories from listeners making million-dollar decisions, like whether to hire a financial advisor, how to prepare your spouse to take over financial responsibilities, and how to structure your retirement income when you’re asset-rich but cash-flow light. From strategic charitable giving to the surprising risks of individual bonds, this episode is packed with actionable insights. And if you think Roth conversions don’t apply to you… think again.
