Hanson Mcclain's Money Matters

Roth conversions can save you thousands in taxes — but only if you know when and how to use them. On this BONUS EPISODE of Money Matters, Scott and Pat take listener calls that reveal the importance of strategy, trust, and risk management in retirement planning. They begin with a caller asking about complicated yield notes, sparking a discussion on portfolio risk management and why trusting the right financial advisor matters more than chasing products. Next, another listener wants to understand Roth conversions and Social Security timing — and Scott and Pat explain when Roth conversions make the most sense for long-term tax efficiency. Finally, a retired couple checks back in to share how they handled market volatility after following Scott and Pat’s advice. Their story shows why portfolio risk management isn’t just about protecting money — it’s about protecting peace of mind.
