Couples and Money, with Ruth Hayden
Listen
December 2, 2000
It may be easier for some couples to talk about sex than about money. Add to that the stress of the holidays, and you have a volatile situation. Ruth Hayden knows how difficult it can be to talk about money with a partner. She also knows that such conversations can make a world of difference in a relationship. Is one of you a spend-thrift, the other a saver? Do you agree
on your long-term financial goals? Hayden will join Chris Farrell for this edition of Sound Money to talk about what it takes for couples to find a
balance in their financial lives. She's the author of For Richer, Not
Poorer: The Money Book for Couples (Health Communications, 1999).

IRAs, with Ed Slott
Listen
December 16, 2000
When it comes to Individual Retirement Accounts, there's something for
everyone. Workers who have no access to employer-sponsored retirement
plans may want to sign up for the traditional IRA, which is funded with
pre-tax dollars. 401(k) and 403(b) participants could be more interested
in non-deductible IRAs. And everyone should consider the Roth IRA, whose
earnings remain tax-free forever. Of course, it's not as simple as all
that. There are income and contribution limits, investment decisions,
beneficiary designations, and more. Get the straight story on this edition
of Sound Money from CPA Ed Slott, publisher of Ed Slott's IRA Advisor.
