On this week’s Hanson McClain’s Money Matters: Scott and Pat take several calls, and discuss three things that you should do before selecting an advisor. Next, they talk to a caller who wants to know how best to go about taking her required minimum distributions. Then, they talk to a caller looking to take care of his ill father for as long as possible. Later, they discuss what a financial advisor should really be doing for you, followed by a question from a caller about if she is exposing herself to too much risk.
