We’ll find out how Roth conversions and careful tax liability management can optimize their retirement income strategy. Eric in California is 72 with nearly four million dollars in pre-tax accounts. How much should he transfer in Roth conversions? Is borrowing against his own house to pay the tax bill brilliant or bonkers? Rick and Kiani hoping they can quit sooner than they think. Mike just hit full retirement age. Should he claim Social Security benefits now or wait until age 70? And finally, Jeff wants to walk away at 59 with a roadmap for aggressive Roth conversions, assuming the tax cliff doesn't get him first.
