In this episode, Christian and Kevin revisit the hot topic of the government's proposed inheritance tax (IHT) changes affecting pensions from 2027. Following a surge in listener interest, they clarify what's changed, who's now responsible, and what practical steps listeners must take to protect their wealth and family.Key Discussion Points:Background:The government plans to tax pensions on death, a major shift from past policy.The responsibility for reporting and paying this tax will now fall on personal representatives (executors), not financial services companies.Why This Matters:Most executors are chosen for trust, not financial knowledge.Executors are now legally liable for getting it right – mistakes could mean personal financial penalties.Practical Risks:Many people don't know where all their pensions are or which are taxable.Appointing a professional executor (like a bank) could cost families a significant portion of their inheritance, sometimes unnecessarily.Action Steps:Review your will and your choice of executors.Ensure your executor is financially savvy or has access to professional advice.Consolidate pensions where sensible for simplicity and clarity.Avoid defaulting to professional institutions as executors without understanding the costs.WealthBuilders' Support:WealthBuilders is creating two practical guides:For those making a will (how to choose an executor)For executors (what their new responsibilities entail)Guides will be available soon at wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHT and wealthbuilders.co.uk/executorFinal Advice:Awareness is key: know your assets, your will, and your executor's readiness.Take action now—don't wait until it's too late.Call to Action:Sign up for the forthcoming guides at wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHTReview your will and executor choicesShare this episode with anyone who has a pension and a familyContact WealthBuilders with questions or to book a call via the websiteResources Mentioned:Download our free guide on inheritance tax changes for pensions: wealthbuilders.co.uk/IHT Be the first to access our upcoming Guide for Executors — register your interest here: wealthbuilders.co.uk/executorCatch up on WealthTalks episode on IHT changes: How to Protect Your Pension from Inheritance Tax Changes Coming in 2027Connect with Us:Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and all major platforms.For more inspiring stories and actionable tips, subscribe to Wealth Talk and leave us a review!Next Steps On Your WealthBuilding Journey: Join the WealthBuilders Facebook CommunitySchedule a 1:1 call with one of our teamBecome a member of WealthBuildersIf you have been enjoying listening to WealthTalk - Please Leave Us A Review!If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review WealthTalk on your favourite podcast platform

Five Reasons to Roll Over Your Old 401k into an IRA, #257

In today's episode, I'm diving into a topic that's top-of-mind for anyone who's switched jobs: what should you do with your old 401(k) plan? I discuss five key reasons why moving them into an IRA could simplify your financial life, from consolidating accounts for better control to gaining access to a broader range of investment options, reducing fees, optimizing Roth and after-tax funds, and making it easier to work with a financial advisor.  Whether you're planning your next career step or just want to make your retirement savings work harder for you, this episode is packed with practical advice to guide your decision. Stick around until the end, and don't forget to tune in next week when I cover situations where rolling over your 401(k) might not be the best choice! You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Vested retirement funds offer four options: keep them in the plan, or withdraw and pay taxes [04:46] Rolling over a 401(k) to an IRA offers more control and access to your retirement funds, preventing forgotten accounts as you change jobs [06:41] Consolidate investments for simplicity and control; update records if keeping old retirement accounts [12:05] Convert Roth contributions to a Roth IRA to start the five-year period and ensure future gains grow tax-free, especially for after-tax funds in a 401(k) without in-plan Roth conversions [13:13] Rollovers to an IRA can facilitate Roth conversions and allow financial advisors to manage retirement accounts. Consolidate Old 401ks for a Smoother Future When you change jobs, it's important not to leave your old retirement accounts behind. For many Americans, the primary vehicle for saving for retirement is their employer-sponsored 401(k) plan. But what should you do with that 401(k) once you've moved on? Rolling it into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) may be the smart move, offering control, flexibility, potential cost savings, and tax advantages. Let's walk through five compelling reasons why a 401(k) rollover into an IRA might make sense for you. 1. Greater Control and Account Consolidation One of the biggest headaches of changing jobs multiple times is having various retirement accounts scattered across different institutions. Not only is it difficult to keep track of these accounts, but there's the risk that you might forget about them entirely. By rolling old 401(k)s into a single IRA, you consolidate your investments, making it easier to manage and monitor your retirement savings. With all your funds in one place, you'll have more control over your asset allocation and will be better positioned to implement a cohesive investment strategy. Additionally, consolidating accounts reduces the administrative burden of managing multiple logins and statements. 2. Expanded Investment Choices and Flexibility Most employer-sponsored 401(k) plans offer a fairly limited menu of investment options, typically ranging from a dozen to twenty funds. These may or may not align with your preferred asset allocation strategy, and some plans are more limited than others. By rolling over your 401(k) into an IRA at a major discount broker like Schwab, Fidelity, or Vanguard, you unlock a much broader universe of investment possibilities, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), stocks, bonds, CDs, and more. This flexibility lets you fine-tune your portfolio, properly diversify, and better tailor your investments to your risk profile and retirement timeline. 3. Potential for Lower Investment Costs 401(k) plans, particularly those from smaller employers, often feature higher administrative and fund expenses, sometimes reaching 1% or more in annual fees. These extra costs chip away at your investment returns over time. With an IRA, especially when investing in low-cost ETFs or mutual funds, you can often significantly reduce the expense ratios you pay. Over decades, even a modest reduction in annual fees can translate into thousands more in retirement savings due to the power of compounding. 4. Managing Roth and After-Tax Contributions Many 401(k) plans now offer a designated Roth component as well as avenues for after-tax contributions. When you roll over your account, this is a valuable opportunity to ensure your Roth and after-tax money are treated with optimal tax efficiency. For example, rolling Roth 401(k) funds into a Roth IRA starts the five-year clock for tax-free withdrawals on earnings, which is critical for planning your retirement withdrawals. Additionally, an IRA rollover can be structured to split after-tax contributions into a Roth IRA, giving those funds tax-free growth potential rather than the more limited advantages offered inside the 401(k). 5. Access to Professional Management If you want professional help managing your retirement investments and financial planning, rolling your assets into an IRA is almost always a prerequisite. Advisors generally cannot manage assets held within a former employer's 401(k) platform, but with funds consolidated in an IRA at a major custodian, they can actively manage your investments, make ongoing adjustments, and assist with tax planning and distributions as you transition into retirement. Assess Your Situation Before Moving While rolling over your old 401(k) to an IRA offers considerable advantages, it's not always the perfect solution for everyone. Each situation is unique, and certain protections or features (such as early withdrawal options or creditor protections) may be stronger inside a 401(k) for some individuals. Be sure to review your specific circumstances carefully, ideally, with a trusted financial advisor, before making any big moves. A well-considered rollover could make your road to retirement much smoother, giving you more control, lower costs, and better investment options along the way.

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union  Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.    This season is an excellent time to do a lifestyle refresh, especially regarding your finances. For those feeling motivated to tackle a new project, channel that seasonal energy to review and reorganize your current financial situation for a few ways to save yourself some dough. Here are five ideas to help you spring-clean your finances this season.   Review your budget. Take some time to look closely at your expenses and income. Have you been spending more than anticipated? Do you need to tweak a few budget items to adjust for recent economic changes? Look through where you're spending money and re-allocate your budget if necessary. This responsible action puts you in charge of your financial decisions.   Check your credit report. Get a copy of your credit report from all bureaus. At the very least, get one copy, even from one bureau. Look over it. Check your score, lines of credit, and any changes or updates made over the last quarter. Reviewing your report is a great way to determine any changes you need to make to improve your score and to see if any past changes have impacted it. For those with a Triangle Better Checking account, you can access your credit score and report through the dedicated Better Checking app. If you haven't registered yet, check the link in the show notes on how to get started.   Automate savings. If you haven't been regularly transferring money into a savings account, take some time to set up automatic savings. It's easier than you think. Use tools like Triangle's Goal Builder within online and mobile banking to set goals that make building that savings account much easier. The tool automates saving a portion of income into a set category over time so you can set it and forget about it, giving you reassurance and confidence in your financial management. Consolidate debt. Look into all the existing rates on your car, home, credit cards, and more. If you think those rates you're currently paying are higher than you'd like, do some shopping around for lower rates. If you are in a good position to refinance or do some debt consolidation, take the opportunity to restructure your debts and free up some money.  Review subscriptions and memberships. If you're juggling a lot of subscriptions, take control. Note how much you're paying and whether or not you're using them. If you're paying for some that you're not using, now's a good time to cancel or downgrade your plan to a free tier if available.  If there are any other tips or topics you would like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org. Like and follow our Making Money Personal FB and IG page and look for our sponsor, Triangle Credit Union on social media to share your thoughts.   Thanks for listening to today's Money Tip Tuesday and check out our other tips and episodes on the Making Money Personal podcast.   Have a great day everyone!

Will Gen AI Consolidate the PM and UX Roles?

Episode Summary:In this episode, John Fontenot explores a thought-provoking topic: the potential consolidation of Product Management (PM) and User Experience (UX) roles due to advancements in Generative AI. He examines the overlap between these two disciplines, the evolving responsibilities of PMs and UX designers, and how organizations may react to increased efficiency through AI.Key Takeaways:1. Understanding the Unique Roles of PM and UX Designer (00:25 - 02:32) PMs focus on business objectives, prioritization, roadmaps, stakeholder management, and go-to-market strategies. UX designers specialize in information architecture, interaction design, prototyping, and usability testing. Despite distinct roles, there is a significant overlap, particularly in customer research, solution ideation, and user flow testing.2. Will AI Eliminate the Need for Both Roles? (02:35 - 06:50) AI can increase efficiency, but does it replace UX or PM roles entirely? Many organizations underutilize UX designers, treating them primarily as visual designers. AI efficiency gains should ideally allow both roles to focus on higher-level strategic work rather than replacing either.3. The Risk of Role Consolidation (06:55 - 09:25) Companies with limited UX investment might see AI as an opportunity to eliminate UX roles, shifting responsibilities to PMs. Similarly, strategic UX professionals who engage with stakeholders and business objectives could replace PMs in certain organizations. PMs focused only on execution (e.g., writing JIRA tickets) may find their roles at risk in the future.4. The Need for Cross-Skilling (09:30 - 13:40) PMs should develop UX skills (e.g., using Figma, understanding usability principles) to become better collaborators and future-proof their careers. UX designers should engage more in strategy, business alignment, and product thinking to solidify their role. Organizations benefit when both disciplines embrace AI efficiencies while maintaining their unique expertise.5. Future-Proofing Your Career (13:40 - End) PMs and UX designers should leverage AI as a tool rather than fearing replacement. Developing cross-functional skills ensures career longevity and adaptability. A collaborative approach leads to better business outcomes and personal career growth.Final Thoughts:John concludes by urging PMs and UX designers to embrace AI-driven efficiencies while strengthening their core competencies. By adapting and evolving, professionals in both fields can safeguard their careers and contribute more effectively to their organizations.Resources Mentioned: Interaction Design Foundation Courses Path2ProductConnect with Us: LinkedIn: John Fontenot Twitter: @productfont Instagram: @product.fontThank you for listening!

This Day in Legal History: 13th Amendment RatifiedOn December 6, 1865, the United States formally abolished slavery with the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. This historic amendment declared that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Its passage marked the culmination of decades of abolitionist struggle and the bloody Civil War, which had torn the nation apart over the issue of human bondage. The amendment was first passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, but required ratification by three-fourths of the states to become law. This final step was achieved when Georgia, the 27th state needed for approval, ratified it. Although President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, freeing slaves in Confederate-held territories, the 13th Amendment went further by permanently outlawing slavery throughout the entire country, including states loyal to the Union.The amendment also laid the groundwork for subsequent constitutional changes aimed at achieving racial equality, including the 14th and 15th Amendments. However, it was not the end of systemic racial oppression. In the years that followed, practices like sharecropping and the rise of "Black Codes" sought to perpetuate the subjugation of African Americans. The amendment's exception clause—allowing involuntary servitude as punishment for crimes—also became a basis for exploitative practices in the penal system, with effects still debated today.Nevertheless, the ratification of the 13th Amendment remains a cornerstone of American history, symbolizing the nation's legal commitment to freedom and human dignity. It was a monumental step in the ongoing journey toward civil rights and justice in the United States.The U.S. Supreme Court is examining United States v. Miller, a case involving the IRS and a bankruptcy trustee, which centers on whether sovereign immunity allows the IRS to keep payments made by a company before bankruptcy. The dispute arose from All Resort Group Inc.'s payment of $145,000 to cover its directors' personal tax debts three years prior to its bankruptcy filing. The trustee argues these payments were fraudulent transfers since the company was insolvent at the time, and the IRS should return the funds like any other creditor.Justices across ideological lines expressed skepticism of the IRS's claim that state fraudulent transfer laws and extended lookback periods, typically used by bankruptcy trustees, are inapplicable due to sovereign immunity. Justice Kavanaugh warned that reversing lower court rulings in favor of the trustee could enable fraud by allowing debtors to misuse company funds while shielding the IRS from clawback actions.The IRS maintains that the trustee's actions exceed the two-year lookback period allowed under bankruptcy law and that sovereign immunity blocks state law-based extensions. Critics argue that siding with the IRS could undermine bankruptcy trustees' avoidance powers, giving the government an unfair advantage over other creditors.Justices, including Barrett, Kagan, and Jackson, questioned the IRS's reasoning, suggesting it contradicts bankruptcy law's intent to treat the government like other creditors in such cases. Legal experts noted that Utah's fraudulent transfer laws, used to extend the recovery period, align with federal principles, challenging the IRS's "peculiar" stance.IRS Climbing a Steep Hill in Bankruptcy Trustee Clawback DisputeOpenAI plans to request the centralization of eight copyright and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) lawsuits into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in New York and California, according to statements made to a federal judge. These lawsuits allege that OpenAI infringed on copyrights during the training of its large language models. Plaintiffs include prominent names like The New York Times, comedian Sarah Silverman, and author Ta-Nehisi Coates. OpenAI assured the court it will continue participating in discovery while the request is reviewed by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. Notably, one DMCA claim by Intercept Media Inc., alleging OpenAI removed copyright management information from its content, recently survived a motion to dismiss. However, OpenAI successfully defended against a similar suit from Raw Story Media Inc. and Alternet Media Inc.The company has also sought to merge suits filed by The New York Times and Daily News LP. OpenAI is represented by Morrison & Foerster LLP, Latham & Watkins LLP, and Keker Van Nest & Peters LLP, while the authors are represented by the Joseph Saveri Law Firm LLP and Cafferty Clobes Meriwether & Sprengel LLP. The case underlines ongoing legal challenges for AI companies related to copyright and content use.OpenAI to Seek to Centralize Eight Copyright Lawsuits Against ItHouse Democrats are divided on a Senate-passed bill to add 66 judgeships to federal district courts, with some wary of granting Donald Trump the opportunity to appoint new judges during his presidency. The JUDGES Act, which aims to address judicial shortages in heavily burdened districts, represents the first major expansion of the federal judiciary since 1990. While some Democrats, such as Reps. Doris Matsui and Eric Swalwell, emphasize the urgent need for additional judges in their states, others, like Rep. Jerrold Nadler, oppose the timing, accusing Republicans of strategically advancing the bill after Trump's election win.The legislation proposes phasing in new judgeships over the next three presidential terms, beginning with 11 appointments in 2025 and another 11 in 2027. Courts in states with Democratic senators would receive 37 permanent seats, while those in Republican states would gain 26 permanent and three temporary positions. Supporters argue that the measure addresses pressing judicial workloads, such as in California's Eastern District, where judges face one of the nation's highest case-to-population ratios. However, critics suspect political maneuvering, with Rep. Zoe Lofgren questioning why Republicans waited until after Trump's victory to advance the bill. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan hopes to pass the measure quickly, and experts note Republicans may secure enough Democratic support despite objections. The judiciary's policymaking body and federal judges back the bill, though its timing and implications for Trump's influence over the judiciary remain contentious.House Democrats Split on Bill to Add Judges After Trump Win (1)Donald Trump announced David Sacks, venture capitalist and co-founder of Craft Ventures, as his pick for the newly created position of AI and Crypto Czar. This role will oversee federal policy on artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, with a focus on boosting U.S. leadership in these sectors. Sacks, a prominent Trump supporter and Silicon Valley figure, has ties to Elon Musk and was a key fundraiser for Trump's campaign. He is also set to lead the Presidential Council of Advisors for Science and Technology.Sacks' responsibilities will include crafting a legal framework to provide clarity for the crypto industry, a sector Trump has pledged to support after previously criticizing it. He will also influence the regulation and adoption of AI, countering Biden-era executive orders on AI oversight, which Trump has criticized as stifling innovation. Despite holding investments in crypto and enterprise software, Sacks will not be required to divest his assets, though conflict-of-interest rules will limit his involvement in specific decisions. Known for advocating free speech and opposing "Big Tech bias," Sacks aligns with Trump's broader deregulatory agenda. His appointment, alongside crypto advocate Paul Atkins to lead the SEC, signals a strong focus on deregulation for digital assets and tech industries.Trump Names David Sacks as White House AI and Crypto Czar (2)This week's closing theme is by Ludwig van Beethoven – a composer of some note.Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the towering figures of classical music, revolutionized the art form with his innovative compositions and bold vision. Born in Bonn in 1770, Beethoven's life spanned the Classical and Romantic eras, and his works embodied the bridge between these two periods. Despite his struggles with hearing loss, he composed some of the most enduring and transformative music ever written. Among his celebrated symphonies, the Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92, stands out for its infectious energy, rhythmic innovation, and emotional depth. Premiered in 1813, the symphony's exuberance earned it a special place in audiences' hearts, with the second movement, Allegretto, becoming an instant favorite.This week, we spotlight Franz Liszt's masterful piano transcription of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. Liszt, a virtuoso pianist and composer of the Romantic era, was renowned for his transcriptions, which brought orchestral works to the solo piano repertoire, allowing a wider audience to experience their brilliance. His transcription of the Seventh Symphony captures not only the rhythmic vitality and dramatic contrasts of Beethoven's original but also its delicate nuances and grandeur.The second movement, in particular, shines in Liszt's version, with its solemn, almost hymn-like theme resonating deeply on the piano. Its hypnotic pulse and poignant melody reveal the emotional core of Beethoven's vision, even in a solo performance. This piece embodies the interplay of intensity and elegance that defines Beethoven's work and showcases Liszt's genius as both interpreter and innovator.Without further ado, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92.

It's been quite the strategic & interesting week for liberals!   In a shocking turn of events (but at the same time, not shocking at all), George Soros' son Alex Soros and former Vice Chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 Presidential Campaign, Huma Abedin are tying the knot after less than a year of dating. Plus,  more and more Democrats are calling for President Biden to drop out of the race -- exposing a new side of the Democratic Party that many Americans are shocked to see.   On this episode, Sean and Rachel are at the kitchen table to discuss why they believe the seemingly spontaneous Soros-Abedin pairing seems a bit fishy given ties between the Soros & Clinton families, and why the current chaos surrounding Democrats is revealing things Rachel and Sean have been calling out for years.   Follow Sean & Rachel on X: @SeanDuffyWI & @RCamposDuffy Learn more about your ad choices.
