About this episode
Big Tex, Paul in Maryland, and Nick in Alabama all need to know how much money they should convert to Roth to pay as little tax as possible, today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 471 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Johnny and June forgot to convert their backdoor Roth money - are they in trouble? Darren in Nevada has no plans at all to do Roth conversions, but surprisingly still listens to YMYW, and still wants a spitball on his retirement and real estate investment strategies. Plus, can Lolly Pop in New Jersey be less miserly and back off on saving for retirement? Can John in South Carolina use this year's lower income to reduce his Medicare premiums? And finally, if Ordinary Guy in Boston meets an untimely demise, should that change his plans to retire early?
