That's today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 488 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Plus, should Doug change his 60/40 asset allocation, and should he start a solo 401(k)? Jefe plans to withdraw from his retirement accounts beyond the top of the 24% tax bracket for the first few years of retirement.
