On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat talk about the pension trouble facing government entities and companies like Pacific Gas and Electric. They also discuss the danger of using a retirement strategy based on just a few assumptions.
Scott and Pat take a call from a mother whose daughter has cancer and a lot of debt. She wants to know how to financially protect the grandchildren without the creditors taking the assets. A caller in Minnesota asks if an immediate annuity makes sense for his elderly mother. A retiree asks about Social Security’s windfall provision. A caller with $1.3 million wants protection from outliving his money.
