Sound Financial Bites

In this episode of More Than Commas, Paul is joined by the SFG team for a lively roundtable on a Wall Street Journal article about an 80-year-old couple debating a multi-million dollar Roth conversion. The team dives deep into what the article doesn't say, from tax realities to financial leadership within marriages. Paul highlights the importance of both spouses understanding their family finances, while Cory and Lance warn about the dangers of financial illiteracy in later life. Together, they discuss legacy planning, donor-advised funds, and how generational wealth can be built through intentional Roth strategies and charitable giving. With humor and practical insight, the team reminds listeners that real financial planning isn't about products, it's about stewardship, education, and empowering your loved ones to make wise choices long after you're gone.   -- Timestamps: 02:30 – The 80-year-old couple and the Roth conversion dilemma 05:00 – What "estate planning" really means for most families 07:30 – Finan
