Money Life With Chuck Jaffe Daily Podcast

Ed Slott, the founder of IRAhelp.com, says that while retirement savers do not have to take 'required minimum distributions' this year -- a move made as part of the government's Covid-19 relief package -- he believes many investors who don't need an RMD could benefit from pulling money this year, making the money taxable at a time when earnings may be down as a result of the pandemic. He also discusses other year-end steps and why -- this year more than most -- key tax-reduction strategies are more accessible than in normal years. Also on the show, Glenn Williams from Primerica discusses the firm's recent survey of middle-income Americans and the impact coronavirus has had on their finances, David Trainer of New Constructs talks about index investing in the Danger Zone, and Chuck answers three audience questions about trading.
