Prioritize Retirement

Don't spend too much of your savings on a child's college education. People often retire because they can no longer earn a living, so you must ensure your retirement is your financial priority.

Then callers ask:

• What should be done with a hodgepodge portfolio?

• What can be done with a currently non-deductible disaster loss?

• What should be done with the stocks in a company purchase plan?

• Still trying to discover the value of some of Warner Bros. stock.

• How should a bunch of individual inherited stocks be sold?

• Should money be placed in a tax-deferred or taxable account?
