Motley Fool Money - Irresistible Change: How to Spot Real Growth

How can investors tell the difference between a real value-creating transformation and “compliance theatre”? Phil Gilbert, serial entrepreneur and former IBM General Manager, joins the show to talk about his new book, Irresistible Change: A Blueprint for Earning Buy-In and Breakout Success. Motley Fool contributor Rich Lumelleau talks with Gilbert about the red flags of CEO bluster, the "25% Rule" for cultural tipping points, and why the next generation of great investors will be tracking "Revenue per Token."


Host: Rich Lumulleau

Guest: Phil Gilbert

Motley Fool Money - The Best Places to Retire, and Play It Safer Before Retirement

The No. 1 investing goal of most Americans is retirement, and a key determinant of happiness in retirement is where you live. Which factors are most important, and where are the places that have those factors? Robert Brokamp and Matt Frankel discuss The Motley Fool’s recent “Best Places to Retire” report.
Also in this episode:
-The S&P 500’s single-digit decline so far this year masks wide dispersion of the returns of individual stocks and sectors, with many posting gains or losses exceeding 20%.
-A recent study shows that portfolio returns right before retirement have an outsized influence on how much an investor can spend in retirement.
-Geopolitical turmoil usually results in a flight to safety that drives down the yields on Treasuries, but the Iran war has had the opposite effect.
-Gyms and spas now outnumber stores selling stuff, which is good news because people who are healthier tend to also be wealthier.

Money Girl - How to Invest When My 401(k) Fails Nondiscrimination?

1005. Is your company "returning" your retirement savings? In this episode, Laura answers a listener question from Jay P., who is frustrated that his contributions keep getting bounced back as taxable income.

If you’re a high earner or a diligent saver, nothing is more frustrating than seeing your hard-earned 401(k) contributions returned to your checking account. But why does the IRS penalize you just because your coworkers aren’t saving enough?

In this episode, Laura breaks down the "Highly Compensated Employee" (HCE) rules and explains exactly why your retirement plan might be failing its annual nondiscrimination tests. More importantly, she shares the specific steps you can take to keep your momentum going even when your workplace plan hits a ceiling.

Laura goes over:

  • The HCE Threshold: The specific 2026 income and ownership limits that trigger these IRS rules.
  • The "Safe Harbor" Solution: How to pitch a plan upgrade to your HR department that eliminates testing forever.
  • Tax Fallout: How to handle the tax liability of returned pre-tax vs. Roth contributions.
  • Pivot Strategies: Three powerful "Plan B" accounts—including HSAs and Roth IRAs—to house your returned cash so it stays invested for the long haul.
