Today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast number 592, Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA reverse-engineer their spitballs to back into what might be the same numbers missing from your own plan. Plus, Sean wants to retire in two years at age 56 with $4.4M without handing half of it to the tax man, and Dallas and Leeloo are wondering if there's such a thing as too much Roth - they’re 48 and on track for $1M in theirs.
