The GROWING problem inside your Retirement Accounts (and what you can do about it)
Understanding the importance of managing taxes within retirement accounts is crucial to securing a financially stable future...and "Getting Retirement Right".
A few things we cover in this video are:
- Taxes represent the single biggest retirement risk for individuals with substantial wealth in pre-tax accounts.
- Taking control of taxes through informed decision-making is essential for financial security.
- Questioning conventional wisdom and rules of thumb can lead to "OWN-ing" more of your investments and keeping what you earn.
Once you realize this, it becomes apparent that Roth Conversions can provide significant advantages in retirement planning:

- In estate planning, converting to Roth IRAs offers tax advantages for heirs, tax-free withdrawals, and increased flexibility for beneficiaries.
