Self-Directed IRA, WEP and SS, Bucketing – QA #1925

Welcome to another week of Q&As! This week Jim and Chris respond to a listener from Hawaii wonder what a Self-Directed IRA (or 401k) is and if there are any benefits over a Custodial IRA. Then they review how WEP can impact Social Security Benefit calculations for a Virginia listener, and give advice to a young Financial Planner that is new to the industry and unsure what to do when a client doesn’t have enough money saved to fund their Buckets.
