## Resource

Juan and Mary in Brooklyn are 49 and 48 with $2.2 million saved. Can Juan afford to retire early, or just walk away if he gets fired? And if they get divorced, yikes - but does the math still work? That's today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 573. But first, "Reuben Sailing Shoes" is 68, single, retired, and has $1.6 million saved, but he's never had a budget in his life. How much can he actually spend? "Leslie and Ben" are federal retirees in their seventies with great pensions and a mix of pre-tax and Roth savings, and "Mork and Mindy" in Delaware are retired with an annuity, a pension, Social Security, and $1.3 million in an IRA. Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA spitball on how Roth conversions and RMD timing can help both couples minimize taxes and make the most of what they've got.
