NOTE

Consider All Variables in Retirement Planning

Multiple key variables significantly influence retirement planning decisions. Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) in traditional accounts mandate withdrawals starting at age 75, impacting taxable income and potentially elevating tax brackets. Social Security benefits can also be taxed up to 85%, increasing overall tax liability. Other considerations include Roth conversions, which allow transfers from traditional to Roth accounts, along with factors such as retirement age, state of residency, and tax filing status. It's crucial to account for these elements to make informed financial decisions regarding retirement savings.
