​Great bits of (concise) information regarding retirement savings, planning, and mistakes. This information is useful for current or soon to be retirees along with those who plan on retiring someday and require growth in their retirement accounts to do so.

Personally item 1. is the real key as talking to and working with a professional provides a greater chance for success. This is because your much more likley to follow a structured process that can and should help to identify a variety of opportunities & risks. Additionally, a more formal process should have protections in place which help to highlight other issues in a portfolio and management of it.......including steps/ways to avoid items 2. & 3.

1) No written plan - Like small businesses, without a written plan your automatically handicapping your chances for success.

2) Not managing sequence-of-return risk
​
3) Not taking the right risk

I find that RMDs are one of the least understood & not well-planned tax events in many taxpayer’s lives. At 72, the law requires that most people begin taking ...RMDs, from these tax-deferred accounts (401k, IRA, similar) while easily causing a retiree to pay more in #tax then they should.

The article talks about doing Roth Conversions closer to #retirement, which if done properly can be a very good idea.

However, there is much more taxpayers can do during their careers with Roth funds resulting in far less or no tax. Here's 3 quick strategies:

1. Life's a journey & things happen so in lean years (recession, job loss) a Roth Conversion could be taxed are far lower rates then later.

2. In lean years or years with reduce income due to a life event (unpaid or reduced pay for sickness, injury, maternity, etc.) classify more or all your 401k contributions as #Roth’s (non RMD funds).
​
3. I'm a huge fan of Back Door Roth’s as there a great way to diversify your retirement & increase Post-Tax (non RMD funds) accounts, all while being able to make contributions beyond the W2 limits.
