Do financial advisors have some secret blood handshake that they’ll all claim they can get you 8 percent returns, but then tell their clients they can only withdraw 4 percent in retirement? That’s Mark in Minnesota’s question today on YMYW. Plus, should Matthew in Seattle quit the DIY approach to his finances and hire a fee-based financial planner? What do Joe and Big Al think about Steven in Connecticut’s “opposite of sequence of returns risk” strategy for retirement withdrawals and “bonuses”? Can listener Joe have an active and comfortable retirement at age 62? Elle in Los Angeles needs some spitballing on contributing to traditional or Roth 401k, student loans, and the potential tax benefits for paying mother in law for babysitting. The fellas also answer some more last-minute year-end tax questions for George, and for Chuck in Idaho. But first, Mike in CO gets priority with his voice message about tax loss harvesting.
