On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat take calls from listeners working through those exact issues. One caller is weighing a pension lump sum against monthly payments, and the tax consequences of that decision become central to the conversation. The guys also discuss how asset location affects tax efficiency, why different accounts are taxed differently, and how thoughtful planning can help reduce unnecessary taxes over time. They even explore ways to structure inheritances that protect beneficiaries while keeping taxes in mind.
