When to Pay Off Your Home, Retire, and Do Roth Conversions - 503
12 Nov 2024
When should Jack and Swan in Florida pay off their home, retire, and convert their savings to Roth for lifetime tax-free investment growth? Jennifer in Colorado wonders whether she should take taxes into account when calculating her expenses, and whether she should pay off her home to be debt-free in retirement? That's today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 503 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Plus, should Kevin in Scottsdale collect Social Security in 2025, or postpone and do Roth conversions over the next two years? Should Skipper in Texas do Roth conversions to the top of the 24% tax bracket instead of the 22? And just how closely will Big Brother watch his state of residency if Skipper buys homes in Florida and another location for his retirement? Harry Tasker in Minnesota's wife Helen says he needs to continue working. Is that a true lie? Harry asks Joe and Big Al to spitball on whether he and Helen can stay home during their go-go years. And can the Tomb Raiders afford to spend $120,000 a year in retirement?
