About this episode
Gary is a 73-year-old with $8 million in savings. Despite having substantial assets, he’s concerned about missed opportunities for Roth conversions as he faces significant required minimum distributions. James encourages Gary to reassess his investment strategy, particularly the bond funds in his Roth IRA, and align his tax planning with his broader financial goals. By doing this, Gary could make more informed decisions that support his retirement goals and charitable aspirations. Questions answered: How can I give money to friends and family without them incurring a huge tax bill? What advice do you have for someone who has more than enough but has a hard time switching from saving mode to spending mode?
