Today on Your Money, Your Wealth podcast #209: Nationally recognized investing expert Paul Merriman makes the case that owning only two funds for life is a “home-run” investing strategy for some investors. Plus, Joe and Big Al answer your money questions: how should teachers, and others without Social Security or pension, save for retirement? How do you record flexible spending account contributions on your taxes? How long should you keep your tax records? And of course, this wouldn’t be YMYW without some talk about Roth IRAs – specifically, making Roth conversions and back door Roth contributions.
