Thoughts on the Retirement Tax Planning Book from Ep.
Just listened to the episode featuring Sean M. and Cody G. discussing their new book. Promptly ordered it from B&N. Never thought I'd be so excited to get a book about retirement tax planning - talk about "adulting" lol! One thing that really got through to me from the episode, is to calm TF down about Roth conversions. I'll probably wait until that age (66-69), that makes so much sense. Thanks to what I've learned from ChooseFI and the FI experts, I recently transferred a $500k annuity (that I was basically misled into signing up for by a sleazy 401k manager years ago at my old workplace) into my Fidelity IRA. So instead of the annuity, which would have locked me into income that I might or might not want, I can control my income, make it low or high as it suits a particular year. Flexibility, for the win!

Mine arrived yesterday. Family laughed at me as I was way too excited for a book about taxes. So far the only issue is they made it a different height than the ChooseFI and TSPTW books it will eventually site right next to. Why!!? 😜
NGL the tax episodes usually make my eyes glaze over, but this past one was so well done I couldn’t help but follow along. 😆 Enjoy your new book!
Thank you for ordering the book! I hope you've enjoyed it. :-)
"calm TF down about Roth conversions" - this is my favorite line! haha
Haha - I have the book on pre-order via Amazon and same with me - I never thought I'd be so excited about taxes!
