That\u2019s fine when you\u2019re choosing dinner or picking out new socks, but it\u2019s not the best approach to managing your finances. In the latest episode of the Money Wisdom podcast, Matt Pastor, RICP\u00ae tackles the topic of "half-baked" financial ideas. These are the types of decisions that might seem clever at first glance but can have significant negative consequences if not thoroughly thought through.   Here\u2019s some of what we discuss in this episode: Why signing your house over to your kid(s) while you\u2019re still alive might not be the best plan. Starting your Social Security as early as possible while you\u2019re still working could cause you to lose some of your benefits. Converting all of your IRA money into a Roth at the same time. Why you might not want to cancel your life insurance once you\u2019re retired. Investing your emergency fund money to get a better return.   Check out our other free financial resources here: https:\/\/johnsonbrunetti.com\/financial-resources\/ Contact our team: https:\/\/johnsonbrunetti.com\/contact-us\/  ","author_name":"Money Wisdom","author_url":"http:\/\/moneywisdom.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
