Episode Description from the Publisher

Many retirees hesitate to do Roth conversions because they believe the savings are only a couple of percentage points. But is that really the full story? In this episode of Joe Knows Retirement, Joe explains why focusing only on today's tax bracket can lead to costly mistakes later. If you have a pension, $1 million or more saved, or expect Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), the true benefit of Roth conversions goes far beyond a simple 2% tax difference. 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/430T9Lv 📚Get a FREE copy of Joe's book "I Hate Taxes":  https://keap.page/bsd964/toolkit-podcast.html 🟥 Read our latest article featured in Kiplinger: https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/roth-conversion-can-head-off-medicare-irmaa 📞 Schedule a call with our team: https://peakretirementplanning.com/schedule-a-meeting/
