On this week’s Hanson McClain’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat take several calls, then discuss the potential for continued interest rate increases and the pros and cons of investing in real estate.

Scott and Pat take a call from a 70-year old woman who needs to take a required minimum distribution and wants to know which of her retirement accounts she should draw down first. Next, a caller wants to know what Scott and Pat think about the financial writer Harry Dent Jr. Later, a caller whose husband in poor health must make some difficult pension decisions regarding future benefits. Lastly, a caller wants to know if his retirement account beneficiaries are legally protected and, if so, whether he still needs a living trust.
