Financial products for aging Americans

Published: Jan. 18, 2020, 1 p.m.

On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat discuss the reasons why some advisors target aging Americans to buy unnecessary financial products. 

Scott and Pat advise a man in Somerset who is helping his mother protect the proceeds from her home sale. A man in Northern California asks how he should plan for his Social Security benefit. A caller asks how she can determine the value of a property’s mineral rights. Finally, a man who saved $500,000 asks if he should sell his rental to pay off his primary mortgage.
