  • Kars4Kids proves to me you are untrustworthy.

    A new federal class-action lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California accuses Kars4Kids, Inc. and its related charity, Oorah, Inc., of operating a misleading vehicle-donation program that misrepresents how donor contributions are used. The Complaint, filed November 4, 2025, alleges that Kars4Kids’ widely recognized advertising campaign deceives donors into believing their contributions support local children’s programs, when in reality, nearly all proceeds are funneled to Oorah’s Ortho... more

  • Great daily podcast

    Thanks for the daily show. Really enjoy the calls, the opinions and the advice. Don’t totally agree with the show’s position on mortgages, the complete love of pensions, and a recent recommendation to borrow from a 401k…

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Needing Direction in Retirement
Q: Should I pay for a fee only planner?
Jill says this depends on whether the caller wants help managing investments or planning. She suggests first settling her mother's estate and deciding whether to return to California, then considering a planner once her housing plans are clearer.
Needing Direction in Retirement
Q: How do I start to get ahead of the required minimum distributions that are coming?
Jill recommends consolidating the former employer 401(k) into a traditional IRA and beginning planned withdrawals, with taxes paid on the amounts withdrawn. She also explains that qualified charitable distributions may suit money the caller intends to donate.
Financial Decisions Ahead of Divorce
Q: What if he was willing to unevenly divide assets, right? Since he's going into something that's paid off, and I'm taking on so much risk, what if he was willing to give me like an extra 100K? Would it then make sense to try and stay in the house?
Schlesinger says staying could be possible if Corey can apply additional funds to the mortgage and qualify for a new mortgage in her name alone, but she would need to discuss the options with the mortgage holder.
Financial Decisions Ahead of Divorce
Q: How should I equitably divide assets in a way that will shore me up and give some stability, at least till my kids are out of high school?
Schlesinger recommends consulting a lawyer about the property and asset split, considering selling the expensive primary home to purchase a smaller one, keeping extra income in savings, and maintaining retirement contributions at the employer-match level. She also discusses an uneven split or mortgage restructuring as possible ways Corey could stay in the house.
I’m Fried, Can I Retire in a Few Months?
Q: Does your husband's disability mean that he has a shortened life expectancy?
Connie says she does not think his life expectancy is shortened and adds that he receives a $447 monthly pension with a survivor benefit. Jill says the pension adds a cushion to their retirement plan.
