#746: We begin today’s episode with a discussion of the disastrous flash flooding in Nepal, a personal topic for Paula given her family there. There’s both a human story, one of the resilience of the Nepalese people and the strong community bonds there, and an economic story, where poor infrastructure and a lack of economic development have hindered disaster response and exacerbated the tragedies of recent events. Listeners can donate to help the victims here: The Prime Minister Relief Fund: https://pmdrf.nchl.com.np/ Caritas Nepal: https://www.caritasnepal.org/donate-now/ Learn more about the ongoing rescue efforts at https://help.ekantipur.com/ A caller wants to put part of her mom's $80,000 home-sale proceeds into an annuity — and it left her financial-planner co-host doing a double take. Turns out it might be the first caller in the show's history the product was actually built for. This week's Q&A tackles two retirement questions from listeners: when it makes sense to ease off maxing out a 401k in favor of a more flexible brokerage account, and whether a guaranteed-income annuity is the right move for a retiree who isn't great at managing money on her own. In this episode, we discuss: How to know when to stop maxing out your 401k and start filling a taxable brokerage account instead The real "deal" you're making with the government every time you use a tax-advantaged account Why an insurance company can keep 100% of the money if the annuity holder dies too soon — and how to avoid it The one type of person a guaranteed-income annuity is actually built for A simple daily habit trick for building consistency, borrowed from a world-class choreographer Why doing everything right doesn't guarantee a good outcome, and what that means for your own decisions What Nepal's disaster response reveals about the real payoff of economic development Whether you're mapping out an early-retirement bridge or helping a parent build guardrails around a windfall, this episode will help you think more clearly about the trade-offs each option carries. 🔗 RESOURCES MENTIONED 👉 Not sure which investments belong in your 401k, your Roth, or your taxable account?
