It’s not just saving for retirement you need to worry about, but drawing down your money at the right time, too.

President Donald Trump delayed announcing a flavored e-cigarette ban because he was “spooked” by the political ramifications, but a plan will likely still be implemented, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb told CNBC on Friday. “I think that something’s going to get done here,” Gottlieb said in a “Squawk Box” interview.
