The consequences of poor financial planning, how to handle RMD’s when markets are down, and should I use my 401(k) to pay off my mortgage?

On this week’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat explain why failing to plan for market drops is planning to fail.  They help a caller decide how much of an RMD to take while the indexes are down.  You’ll hear from a woman who wants to know whether it’s a good move to use some of her 401(k) to pay off her mortgage. Finally, a father puts his college graduate on the phone to get a lesson on investing.
