Should you convert to a Roth IRA?

I'm excited about the podcast this week! I discuss converting your 401k or IRA to a Roth IRA.

To begin the show, I share a quick story about racing bicycles. In one race I crashed. I had to be transported to the hospital on a backboard. Listen in to hear how it happened. I relate the crash to things to look out for in retirement planning.

Think about financial planning like a wheel on a bicycle. You have spokes on your retirement planning wheel. The spokes are healthcare, estate planning, investments, insurance, income, and taxes. We want all these spokes to be true and working properly so that your financial plan is complete.

Also, we want to be aware of what is going on with each of our spokes so we can anticipate potential problems or to ensure things are right. 

In this show I'll explain a report we offer that illustrates how much you are projected to pay in taxes on your qualified money like your 401k or IRAs. You may be able to save money by converting to a Roth IRA.

The report shows if it will be beneficial or not to do a Roth Conversion. I'll tell you how you can get this free report. It's better to be proactive than reactive. I'll explain how Roth IRA conversions may be a proactive move for you.

Roth IRAs offer tax free income if distributions are taken after age 59-1/2 and the account has been open for at least 5 years. When converting funds to a Roth IRA, ordinary income taxes are due on the amount converted in the same year, and ideally should be paid with funds outside of the retirement plan. 660184-07/20
