• Laundry Rules And Roth Strategies
    2025/07/08

    In this episode, we go from laundry piles to financial files! We discuss whether we really have to wash new clothes before wearing them (spoiler: yes), and the importance of kids having household responsibilities.

    Then, the conversation shifts to another kind of clutter: unused subscriptions and hidden financial costs. Greg compares this to tax-deferred retirement accounts like 401(k)s—convenient now but potentially costly later. They break down the difference between delaying and saving on taxes, as well as the pros and cons of Roth conversions.

It’s everything you need to know about annuities with a dose of laughs, love, and financial wisdom.
