Camilla, a teacher in her late thirties, is ready to pull back from full-time work and travel the world. Despite paying off significant student debt by teaching overseas, she has deep-seated money anxiety stemming from a difficult childhood and fears running out of funds. With $800,000 saved, Camila’s wondering how to withdraw her retirement savings in a tax-efficient way while ensuring her portfolio’s continued growth. In this episode, Camilla sits down with Crystal, a Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor, and discusses her options, including tax-loss harvesting to offset capital gains taxes, Roth IRA conversions and a high-yield emergency savings fund .

We're joined by Michigan law professor Richard Primus to talk about his new book, "The Oldest Constitutional Question: Enumerated and Federal Power."

Along the way, we discuss methods of constitutional interpretation, the relationship between the official story of the law and legal practice, and wrestle with the surprisingly hard question of how many congressional powers are listed in the Constitution.…
