(42:15) Georgette wonders how the Roth 5-Year Rule applies to non-spouse beneficiaries and whether it transfers from the original account holder.
(48:00) A listener shares their HSA strategy as a substitute for long-term care insurance, along with personal experience on how cafeteria plan deductions affected Social Security earnings.
