Today, I’m talking to Dr. David Hulse, recently retired Professor Emeritus at the Von Allmen School of Accountancy and the Martin School of Public Policy at the University of Kentucky. He’s a contributing author for federal taxation textbooks and has written about our tax system in several journals.  He recently published a white paper called Roth Vs. Traditional Account Contributions and Tax Rate Uncertainty in the Journal of Financial Planning. It’s a fantastic and informative paper, and we wanted to bring David onto the podcast to break his complex argument down into something simpler and allow him to answer your questions. With that in mind, in this episode, we discuss the difference between different contribution and decumulation strategies with someone who’s implementing them in his own life as we speak, the changing pace of life for new retirees, and how many people use a mix of retirement accounts and tools to avoid costly mistakes in this phase of life. In this podcast interview, you’ll learn: Important facts that many advisors don’t understand about Roth IRAs compared to traditional ones. How to understand the government’s role as a “silent partner” in a traditional IRA. How to assess whether a traditional or Roth IRA is right for you based on whether or not overall (or your personal) tax rate is going to go up. Strategies you can use to address potential problems around required minimum distributions (RMDs) with traditional IRAs. Why David is using a mix of traditional and Roth IRAs across his retirement accounts. The reasons why there’s no simple “set and forget” strategy when it comes to retirement account planning.  Our Market Outlook Webinar is live! Visit https://bit.ly/4bmHkUb to register.

Today, I’m talking to Marie-Therese Connolly. MT Connolly is a lawyer working in the courts and in Congress to tackle an ongoing and fundamental issue of elder abuse–both physical and psychological–as well as financial exploitation and wrongful deprivation of rights.  She was instrumental in architecting the federal Elder Justice Act. She also founded the DoJ’s Elder Justice Initiative and authored the Elder Justice Roadmap.  In her book, The Measure of Our Age: Navigating Care, Safety, Money, and Meaning Later in Life, she addresses the challenges of aging, how things go wrong, and offers powerful tools we can use to forge better and healthier lives for ourselves, our families, and our communities. In today’s conversation, MT and I discussed how we can protect our parents and grandparents, what our culture teaches us about aging (and conversely, what aging teaches us), and why it’s a great time to get old–even though our support systems appear to be broken.  GET A FREE ACCESS TO MT CONNOLLY’S BOOK TITLED, THE MEASURE OF OUR AGE: NAVIGATING CARE, SAFETY, MONEY AND MEANING LATER IN LIFE Here's all you have to do...

Why so many people don’t realize how many resources they need to cover long-term care, to stay in their homes, or get other support they might need.  How to evaluate retirement communities and care homes. The common risks of families taking on caregiving. Why old and young people are meant to spend time together and learn from one another.  The special challenges facing solo and childless retirees–and the importance of building community.  How to protect yourself and your loved ones from financial exploitation.  Also, our Market Outlook Webinar is coming soon!
