On today's show: 

0:21Mailbag Question 1: I’ve been very blessed and have more than I’ll probably need in my life. Should I start giving away money to my kids and grandkids now so they don’t have to worry as much about estate taxes and probate costs?

2:05Mailbag Question 2: I’m thinking about getting married to someone 12 years old than me. I’m worried about what happens if he’s retired and I’m still working. Will this be a problem financially?

4:29Mailbag Question 3: I’m in the middle of a divorce after 30 years of marriage. Would I be better off with half of his 401k or half of his pension?

6:11Mailbag Question 4: My husband and I argue almost everyday about money because we haven’t done a good job of planning and it’s stressing us out. Is this normal or do we need some serious help?

8:16Mailbag Question 5: I’m the executor of my deceased mother’s will and my sister is currently living in mom’s house. I don’t want to kick her out but I think I might need the money from the sale to fund my retirement. How do I figure out if I’m okay with what I have or if I need to kick my sister out?

9:57Mailbag Question 6: My dad just died six months ago and I’m a little worried about my mom, who is in her late 70s and is now in charge of handling the investments for the first time in her life. I don’t know much about it myself so what should I tell her to do?
