Your Money, Your Wealth Retirement Spending and Timing Your Mortgage Payoff - 458
Should Brian in Binghamton, New York pay off his mortgage for a guaranteed 6% return? How bad did Steve in Pittsburgh screw up his retirement, and can he afford to buy a new house away from his a-hole neighbors? Can Susan and her husband in Cape Canaveral Florida retire in a year and a half and should they pay off their mortgage? And how can Edith and Archie in Kansas maximize Roth Conversions and factor paying off the mortgage into their retirement spending strategy? Plus, Steve and Marcia in Indiana and Florida wonder about their retirement spending and whether they should collect Social Security now or wait until age 70, and should Sunny D in Arizona keep potential withdrawals in cash or sell investments as needed to satisfy required minimum distributions (RMDs)? We kick things off with Shelly’s voicemail about investing the proceeds from the sale of a business.
