9:18 “You will ensure your savings will last as long as you do, how to turn your savings into a retirement income while still mitigating your risk, how to legally reduce your taxes, how to wring every last nickel out of your Social Security benefits and learn if you’re eligible for some additional benefits that you don’t even see on your statement”

12:59 “You basically have four choices on what you can do. You can roll over those assets in your spouse’s IRA into your own name. You can transfer the assets into a spousal inherited IRA.
