  Research economist Anthony Webb saw a lot to like about Nelson's situation.
  
  "She doesn't have any student loans, has avoided taking on credit-card debt, has health insurance and is managing to live within her means, even though she doesn't have a full-time job," he said.
  ...
  Webb and Stevens both thought that the $3,000 in Nelson's checking account is not enough to serve as an emergency fund.
  ...
  Webb noted that investment allocation is about trying to get the best possible trade-off between risk and return.
  
  "One way of doing this is by diversification, and I am concerned that she has put a lot of her eggs in a China basket," he said.
  
  International exposure is fine, but she might be better off with a broad-based international fund, he said.
  
  And he had one final word of advice based on her concerns about aircraft emissions.She might want to think about funds that invest with environmental considerations in mind.Webb said there is no evidence that "ethical" funds do worse than regular funds.
  
  "This is one situation where doing the right thing won't cost her anything," he said.

  But there's a large amount of academic research that shows the tax advantages don't translate into substantial savings, said Anthony Webb, a research economist with the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. He noted that senior citizens, those most likely to be taking annuity payouts, often don't pay taxes, or have low tax burdens.

  "For almost all households, the after-tax cost of the mortgage is going to be more than the after-tax rate of return on those low-risk or risk-free assets," says Anthony Webb, an economist at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. Stocks have historically provided a higher rate of return, but it is not guaranteed that you will earn more than your mortgage interest rate. "The danger is that the household mismanages its finances and ends up losing the house," Webb says.

  "For far-sighted people who have self-control (to save elsewhere), it probably makes sense not to repay their mortgage," says Anthony Webb, an economist at the Retirement Research Center.Consider:
  
  Your mortgage interest rate.
  
  If your mortgage rate is low, say 6% or less, you likely can earn more from other investments.
  
  "If you could invest in a tax-deferred account such as an IRA or 401(k), the pretax rate of return would be equal to or greater than the post-tax cost of the mortgage," Webb says.

  "You don't have much idea what tax rates will be in the future and it doesn't just depend on the next election," says Anthony Webb, research economist at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.Webb's concern is that models of optimal withdrawal strategies throw off misleading feelings of accuracy about the future.Warns Webb: "When trying to optimize, it's important to think about how you will fare if your model's parameters turn out to be incorrect."
