In this episode of Ask Farnoosh, we tackle some of your most pressing money questions about retirement planning, investing, and managing finances in relationships. First, we dive into the pros and cons of converting a Traditional 401(k) to a Roth IRA, discussing how to weigh current tax impacts against long-term growth benefits. Next, we explore strategies for helping a loved one preserve and grow their retirement savings, including balancing accessibility and investment growth for someone relying on Social Security. Lastly, we address the complexities of merging finances as a couple—whether you’re cohabiting, buying a home, or just starting to have those “big” money talks.
