On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat explain why chasing short-term gains can lead to long-term problems. A Tennessee father asks whether buying his son a first home is a smart idea. A 31-year-old caller from Washington, D.C. wants to know where he should invest $500,000 in proceeds from the sale of his house. Finally, a Texas man who is about to retire asks for advice on where he should park the money sitting in his company’s 401(k).
