Episode Description from the Publisher

Are you prepared for the complexities of a high-value retirement? In this episode of Allworth’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat break down real-world case studies for a $3M+ retirement, specifically focusing on the math behind long-term care, the tax implications of early inheritances, and a powerful framework for tax efficiency known as the "3 C's." In this episode, Scott and Pat discuss: The Long-Term Care Dilemma: They analyze a $3.7M case study where the caller is retiring abroad. Does she actually need long-term care insurance, or can she "self-insure"? Scott and Pat explain the "elimination period" strategy that could save thousands in premiums. Managing Early Inheritances: Using a $3.3M case study, Scott and Pat explore the pros and cons of buying a home for your children. They discuss how to manage early inheritances without creating family "real estate wars" or triggering unnecessary IRA taxes. The "3 C's" Strategy: Allworth partner advisor Ben Abraham joins the show to reveal a strategy for maximizing tax efficiency by balancing stock concentration and charitable giving to fuel massive Roth Conversions.   Join Money Matters:  Get your most pressing financial questions answered by Allworth's co-founders Scott Hanson and Pat McClain.
