## Resource

In this episode of Money Matters, Scott and Pat unpack why tax diversification is one of the most overlooked strategies in retirement planning. From a 70-year-old investor with $3.6 million mostly in traditional IRAs to a 55-year-old looking to retire early and start Roth conversions, they explore how tax diversification can help reduce lifetime taxes and create flexibility in retirement income. You’ll hear discussions about: -When Roth conversions make sense — and which tax bracket to target -How much cash and bond exposure you really need before retiring -The realities of the 4% rule -401(k) vs. brokerage — and where bonds and equities should actually live -How diversification protects your lifestyle, not just your portfolio Join Money Matters: Get your most pressing financial questions answered by Allworth's co-founders Scott Hanson and Pat McClain.
