Is My Roth Conversion Strategy More Accurate: My Personal Opinion or My Financial Advisor's? - I YMYW Podcast

"I have a difference of opinion with our financial advisor as it relates to Roth conversions that I would like to get your perspective on. Our retirement assets include $1.7M in traditional IRAs, $220K in a Roth IRA, $81K in an HSA and $865K in taxable brokerage accounts and cash. Our investments are mostly balanced between stock and bond index funds, with a cash reserve to cover 2-3 years living expenses. I collect a pension from my former employer of $62K/year. We are deferring our Social Security until age 70 at which time we expect to get around $78K/year. That plus a deferred fixed annuity should give us around $150K/year of lifetime income by age 70. I want to draw down the traditional IRAs during our “gap” years and pay the taxes now at the current historically low rates, maxing out the 22% bracket each year (no state income tax in Florida). This amounts to about $150K of traditional IRA distributions each year. I am allocating $50K of the $150K of IRA withdrawals...

Roth TSP to Roth IRA Rollover: Penalty-Free Withdrawals Before Age 59 and a Half? I YMYW Podcast

"Team, thank you again for the great show and the humor in how you answer these questions. I have a question about my Roth IRA and Roth TSP…. and it has nothing to do with the Megatron or back door! I’ve had my Roth IRA for about 15 years and began funding the Roth side of my TSP 5 years ago. I intend to transfer the Roth portion of my TSP to my Roth IRA whenever I decide to retire from the military. With that in mind: Will all the contributions I’ve made to my Roth TSP over the years be counted as contributions in my Roth IRA? Or would the entire value of the Roth TSP count as the contribution when it is transferred to my Roth IRA? Is there some other rule that I am missing? I understand that Roth IRA contributions can always be accessed without penalty and that contributions are considered to be the first portion withdrawn from the account. What I don’t understand is how or if that would change once another retirement plan such as my Roth TSP is brought over. I’m...
