On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat discuss the reasons why it is more difficult to save as you get closer to retirement, and how you can plan for a secure financial future.

Scott and Pat advise a landlord who asks if he can deduct home improvement expenses for his rental properties. A man, with $400,000 saved, wants to know if he should wait for a market dip before he invests. A retired police officer asks if his wife should take a monthly pension or a lump sum buyout. Scott and Pat speak with a caller concerned that the coronavirus will impact his investments. Finally, a self-employed woman asks if Medicare will impact her health insurance from CalPERS.
