Roth conversions can save you thousands in taxes — but only if you know when and how to use them. On this BONUS EPISODE of Money Matters, Scott and Pat take listener calls that reveal the importance of strategy, trust, and risk management in retirement planning. They begin with a caller asking about complicated yield notes, sparking a discussion on portfolio risk management and why trusting the right financial advisor matters more than chasing products. Next, another listener wants to understand Roth conversions and Social Security timing — and Scott and Pat explain when Roth conversions make the most sense for long-term tax efficiency. Finally, a retired couple checks back in to share how they handled market volatility after following Scott and Pat's advice. Their story shows why portfolio risk management isn't just about protecting money — it's about protecting peace of mind.

We’re going to revisit an “Under the Radar” guest who first joined us on the show about two years ago. And this is a leading homegrown Singapore company that delivers what’s said to be world-class communications, entertainment and digital services. And yes – you might be using its 5G network services to tune into this conversation as we speak. Founded in 2000, telecommunications service provider StarHub seeks to provide people, homes and enterprises mobile and mixed services, a broad suite of premium content, as well as a diverse range of communications solutions through its extensive fibre and wireless infrastructure. 25 years on, the firm also develops and delivers solutions incorporating artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analytics, Internet of Things for both corporate and government clients. And we want to find out what is next for StarHub in a fast evolving market as it celebrates 25 years in the business. Beyond that, the Singaporean telecommunications industry that StarHub lies in is also an interesting one to look at, as it undergoes a market consolidation. In August this year, Keppel announced the proposed sale of M1’s telecommunications business to Australian mobile network operator Simba Telecom, for an enterprise value of S$1.43 billion. The move disappointed investors who had hoped for StarHub to buy over M1. Just a day later though, StarHub announced that it has taken full ownership of MyRepublic’s broadband business. The move was said to strengthen StarHub’s multi-brand and multi-segment strategy in the Singapore broadband market. But what opportunities and synergies is the firm looking to tap exactly? And how far will a consolidation in the market give telco players like StarHub more flexibility in its pricing to boost its top line numbers? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Nikhil Eapen, Chief Executive Officer, StarHub.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Singapore shares dipped today amid mixed trade in Asia today. The Straits Times Index was down 0.06% at 4,300.16 points at 1.15pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$850.13M seen in the broader market. In terms of companies to watch, we have SGX, after the group today launched new indices that track the next tier of large and liquid mainboard companies beyond the 30 constituents of the Straits Times Index. Elsewhere, from how the Singapore government said today that it has extended the 4 per cent CPF interest rate floor for interest earned on all Special, MediSave and Retirement Account (SMRA) monies for another year, to how Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has fully exited Chinese automaker BYD – more financial and corporate headlines remain in focus.

On this week's Money Matters, Scott and Pat dive into market shifts—tariffs, AI-driven productivity, and surprising earnings—and explain why chasing predictions fails while fundamentals like tax-efficient investing deliver results. Next, a caller shares his career-change dilemma: should he leave a higher-paying job for a teaching role with a pension? Scott and Pat weigh in on how retirement savings, insurance coverage, and college funding fit into the bigger picture. Later, another caller with a $9 million stock portfolio reveals his struggle with taxes from heavy dividend income. This leads to a deep dive into tax-efficient investing, where Scott, Pat, and Allworth's Head of Wealth Planning, Victoria Bogner, break down strategies like gifting stock, using net unrealized appreciation (NUA), and leveraging direct indexing for smarter portfolio management. The episode closes with actionable insights to help you apply tax-efficient investing in your own financial plan—so you can keep more of what you've worked hard to build.

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
Today we’re going to dive deep into a company which plays an instrumental role in the Defence, Aerospace and Cyber & Digital Sectors. With over 83,000 employees dotted across five continents, our guest Thales provides solutions, services and products to help companies, organisations and governments carry out their critical missions. Think about air traffic management, training and simulation to even in-flight entertainment solutions used in the aerospace industry. Or signals intelligence, electronic warfare and collaborative combat systems for the defence and security industry. Or even satellite-based systems to help scientists observe our planet and better optimise the use of our solar system’s resources. Beyond that, the firm is also looking at identity management and data protection technologies that help banks exchange funds, people cross borders and energy become smarter and even more. Why are we speaking to Thales you might ask? Well, the firm had in July 2025 raised its sales forecast for the year of 2025 while posting better first-half sales and profit. Thales’ adjusted earnings before interest and taxes, or adjusted EBIT, came in at 1.248 billion euros, up 12.7% on the year on an organic basis. The strong showing was driven by strong sales growth in its aerospace and defence segment, and came on the back of increased military spending in Europe. But how far can the positive momentum be sustained, and how far will US tariffs throw a spanner in the works? What role will Asia and Singapore play in Thales’ playbook for the future? Speaking of Singapore, the firm said in May 2025 that it will launch a new artificial intelligence centre, called cortAIx, in the country to develop AI solutions for critical environments. It also inked an agreement with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore to launch an International Avionics Lab in 2026. But what should we know about the moves, and how important are they to longer-term growth for Thales as a whole? On Under the Radar Specials, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Emily Tan, CEO & Country Director, Thales Singapore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this week's Money Matters, Scott and Pat dive deep into what truly makes a great financial advisor—and why empathy and guidance matter as much as investment strategies. They share real-life stories that highlight how a trusted financial advisor can help families navigate some of life's toughest moments: illness, unexpected retirement, losing a spouse, and planning for Social Security. From a caller facing a terminal cancer diagnosis to another couple debating whether to pay off their mortgage early, Scott and Pat explore the practical—and emotional—side of retirement and estate planning.

Hasn't working from home become funny? Seek have produced a thing called Money Matters, and they look at work-life balance. Actually, hasn't that become a thing as well – work-life balance. I can't place it exactly, but it seems like a Covid thing. The world changed and so did we. Working hard is now so last year, or so last decade. We all long for work-life balance with a good sprinkling of mental health days. But working from home is a scam because according to Money Matters if you got a pay rise you would go back to the office quick as you like. So is it about work-life balance or is it about money? Everything is about money. We just like to pretend it isn't. You feel more virtuous if you pretend it isn't about money. But Money Matters spills the truth. Working from home is easier, we save on the commute, you claim you are more productive, blah blah blah. "Hey, how about 20% more?" Then you're out of there. We would work more hours for more money, we would take on an increased workload for more money, and we would commute further for more money. There isn't much we wouldn't do for more money. The work from home thing, by the way, is funny because before Covid there was virtually no such thing. The idea that you could invent a thing and then having invented it, because we were all locked down anyway, turn it into a permanent thing that could only be broken by a pay rise is the ultimate in farce. It's an insight into how quickly a habit can form if it suits you. Anyway, the only other thing that can make us blow up our precious work-life balance is more time off. But it still doesn't beat money. It's why lotto is popular I guess – money solves everything. Do we value work-life balance? My word we do. But do we value it more than money? Don't make me laugh.

Bankruptcy may be a taboo subject in personal finance, but it can be a necessary option for those facing overwhelming debt. Attorney Mitchell Dickson and bankruptcy specialist Nicole Duhon demystify the bankruptcy process and help listeners understand who should consider this path.• Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves the liquidation of assets and is typically for those with lower incomes needing a fresh start• Chapter 13 creates a 3-5 year repayment plan allowing individuals to keep homes and vehicles while paying what they can afford• Most bankruptcies result from traumatic life events like divorce, death, medical issues, or disabilities – not financial irresponsibility• Making only minimum payments on credit cards for years or falling behind on mortgages/car payments are red flags that bankruptcy might be appropriate• The bankruptcy process typically involves three meetings with an attorney and one court appearance (now usually via Zoom)• After filing, the "automatic stay" immediately protects from creditor actions like garnishments, foreclosures, and repossessions• Bankruptcy doesn't mean losing everything – secured debts can be maintained if payments continue• Credit unions often close accounts of members who discharge debts through bankruptcy, especially if the institution suffers a loss• Recovery is possible – with responsible credit usage post-bankruptcy, financial healing can happen relatively quickly• Free consultations with bankruptcy attorneys provide confidential, personalized information with no obligation to fileIf you're considering bankruptcy, schedule a free consultation with a qualified bankruptcy attorney to receive professional advice tailored to your specific situation. Bankruptcy can be a financial reset rather than a financial death sentence.Have an idea for a show or a question for Kim?

Want to create a retirement your boss will envy? Design it. New group program starts on October 3rd. Six weeks to a new direction. Learn more __________________________ Most of us know about lifespan and healthspan—but have you thought about your joyspan? Gerontologist Dr. Kerry Burnight is the author of Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half. She shares her research and practical wisdom on how to extend not just the years of our lives, but the years we will truly enjoy living. Drawing from her “Joyspan Matrix” and decades of experience, Kerry, a nationally recognized advocate for positive aging, offers a fresh perspective and new thinking on thriving in later life for your consideration. We discuss: The importance of joyspan alongside lifespan and healthspan What she's learned from her longest running case study (her Mom) Lessons from her grandmothers' contrasting approaches to aging The four pillars of the Joyspan Matrix: Grow, Connect, Adapt, and Give Why connection is as vital as medicine How purpose can change our biology and well-being Practical ways to spark curiosity and joy through personal projects Kerry Burnight joins us from Southern California. ________________________ Bio Dr. Kerry Burnight, America's Gerontologist, is sparking a revolution to make older better. Fed up with the fear-driven, anti-aging hysteria, hundreds of thousands of people turn to “Dr. Kerry” for her practical, effective and uplifting approach to navigating longevity. Her approach to aging is based upon a profound truth: the key to good longevity isn't the length of your life, it's the quality of your life. Efforts to maximize lifespan and even healthspan don't address the whole picture. Longevity is meaningless if you don't like your life. Burnight introduces the critical concept, “joyspan,” based on the science of well-being, contentment, connection, meaning, growth, choice, and purpose. She earned her PhD in Gerontology at the University of Southern California. Dr. Burnight taught Geriatric Medicine and Gerontology for 18 years at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine. She was an invited speaker to the U.S. White House at the Elder Justice Summit and at the U.S. Department of Justice.

Send us a text In this episode, we begin a discussion about a topic that everyone is affected by. We talk about money, how we should view it, how we should use it, and the biblical teaching concerning it. Jesus spoke of money matters in 42% of His parables, so it is an important thing to get right. We need money to survive and make it through life, but it is something that we cannot have a love for. If you want to get someone's attention, talk about money and you will have their ear. We encourage you to give us your ear today, so we can study the biblical response to Money Matters together.

Sadly I cannot respond directly to your text, so please Email me!Today we're diving into one of the most overlooked—but absolutely crucial—parts of any FLR dynamic: financial control. Who holds the money? Who decides how it gets spent? And how do we build structure around money without turning it into a battlefield?Spoiler alert: I hold the debit card. And it's not just about power—it's about respect, ritual, and responsibility.What I Talk About in This Episode:Why dominance isn't just in the play—it's in the practiceReal-life examples from our FLR money ritualsHow communication builds trust around financesWhat to do when your sub tops from the bottom (and how to recover)Weekly money check-ins as emotional regulation toolsChore-based point systems that build structure without infantilizingHow I reclaimed my power after years of being the “default manager”The deep emotional empowerment that comes from owning the finances“You don't have to be a CPA to run an FLR household. You just need trust, clarity, and the confidence to say, ‘This is what's best for us—and I'm deciding it.'”“We forget that holding the money is a kink for some of us. It's symbolic. It's ritual. And it's real fucking power.”Five Tips for Starting a Financial Control Dynamic:Start with a conversation, not a command. Ask, but be firm.Define clear categories. Needs, wants, fun, rituals.Set financial rituals. Weekly check-ins, allowance transfers, updates.Use symbolic tools. Apps, charts, envelopes, or even a ritual wallet.Reinforce with structure. Consistency is where confidence is built.Listener Invitation:Got rituals around money? Creative systems that work for your FLR?Tell me. I want to hear it all.

On this week's Money Matters, Scott and Pat dig into market performance, tariffs, AI, interest rates, and long-term planning. At the heart of the episode are three essential topics: taxes, direct indexing, and concentrated stock diversification strategies. They help a young family balance life insurance with retirement savings, guide a retiree facing a heavy dividend tax bill, and show why smart planning matters at every stage. Along the way, they reveal how taxes can quietly erode wealth, why direct indexing creates new opportunities for tax-efficient investing, and how concentrated stock diversification strategies protect those holding too much company stock. Whether you're building wealth, preparing for retirement, or simply trying to minimize taxes, this episode blends practical advice with advanced insights to help you secure your financial future.
