How to Money Minimizing the Retirement Tax Time Bomb w/ Ed Slott #863
Don’t let short term thinking and a myopic view of your retirement investments derail your financial future! Our guest today puts it succinctly: your IRA is an IOU to the IRS. What would you owe the government now compared to in the future? Will tax brackets return to the heights we saw in the 1940s? Will the government continue to allow Roth IRAs to grow and be drawn upon tax-free? These are just a few of the topics we discuss today. “It would be tough to find anyone who knows more about IRAs than Ed Slott” – and that’s not a quote from us here at How To Money about our guest, but from USA Today. Ed Slott’s company is the nation’s leading source of accurate, timely IRA expertise, and analysis which they provide to financial advisors, institutions, consumers, and media. He’s often quoted in the New York Times, Forbes, Kiplinger, and countless other publications. He’s appeared on virtually all the TV networks, and he's the author of the new book “The Retirement Savings Time Bomb Ticks Louder” which we get into today. Thanks for listening!
