On this week’s Hanson McClain’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat look back on the cryptocurrency boom and bust, and why the values of long-term investing are best learned through experience.

Scott and Pat take a call from a man in Denver who wants to know if he should take his mortgage into retirement. A woman in Colorado put $260,000 of her inheritance in expensive annuities and is worried about the stock market’s ups-and-downs. A man in the Bay Area considers renting his $1.5 million house through retirement. Finally, Scott and Pat take a call from state employee in Roseville who is concerned about the future of California’s state pension.
