About this episode
"Rubble and Skye" in Minnesota want to spend $65,000 a year in retirement, and they'll have $67K in annual fixed income. Are they cutting it too close? "Atouk and Tala" in New Jersey will have retirement money, Social Security, and "Lumpy," their lump sum pension - will they be okay? We'll find out today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 542 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Plus, should David in Redondo Beach California use his Roth money to buy a home? And what do the fellas think about "Charlie Pepper" in Colorado using a home equity line of credit (HELOC) for retirement spending, instead of living off of pre-tax money?
