This is Motley Fool Answers. I'm Alison Southwick, joined as always by Brobigham,

personal finance expert here at the Motley Fool. Hey, it's the mail bag for May. And joining us this

week, it's Dan Kaplanar. He's a longtime contributor to the Motley Fool. And he's going to help answer

your questions about specs, inheriting an IRA, which accounts to maximize, and a bunch of other stuff. So yeah,

all that and more on this week's episode of Motley Fool Answers. Hey, Dan's back. Welcome to the show.

I feel like it's probably been a while. It's been a whole pandemic, hasn't it, Allison? I think show. I feel like it's probably been a while.

It's been a whole pandemic, hasn't it, Allison?

I think we had you on the show back when we were still feeling this whole remoteness out.

And now we got our act together. We are just a well-oiled machine.

What's new with you?

Oh, you know how that goes. You know, it's a whole lot of the same old stuff to put another way. So, you know, I've been doing a bunch of the video stuff. Now I'm back

with you guys. It's like a whole, it's like a whole high school reunion thing going on.

Here's the fun fact about Dan. When he's bored, he just gets in his plane and

he flies around for a while, which is not something most of us do. Oh, really? It's highly

recommended. I enjoy it a lot. Oh, that's wonderful. Oh, well, and I forget, I always forget

what state you're coming to us from, because I always want to say something like Vermont, but that's totally wrong, isn't it? I'm two miles from Vermont, so it's not totally

wrong, but I'm in Massachusetts, which means that, you know, Bernie's not my senator, and I don't

have cows in my backyard or anything like that. There you go.

Is that a problem when you're flying from one state to the other?

Like, do you have to do any certain clearance to like I'm flying into New Hampshire airspace or anything like that?

No, no, no.

I'm talking air traffic control all the time, so it works just fine.
