The 2% plummet

On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat discuss the stock market’s recent turbulence and how the media can sensationalize minor price swings.

Scott and Pat advise a man on how to handle 401(k)s worth $125,000 that were awarded to him from a divorce settlement. A caller is the executor of her brother’s estate and asks how she can access his Thrift Savings Plan with little documentation. A caller leaving California asks how he can avoid capital gains taxes on the sale of a home worth $550,000. A man asks how he can recover a 401(k), worth $40,000, that he lost track of decades ago. Finally, Scott and Pat advise a caller with $2.5 million in cash on what questions he should ask a financial advisor.
