Ricochet J in Colorado and her husband want to retire as soon as humanly possible. Are they on track? Should they save their surplus funds to a brokerage account or a solo 401(k)? That’s today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 505 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Plus, Micah in South Dakota wonders whether having a $40,000 a year pension is basically the same as having a million dollars in bonds, according to the four percent rule. What do Joe and Big Al think? Barney and Betty will be in the 12% or 22% marginal tax bracket, but their effective tax rate will only be between 10% and 12.4%, so how much should they convert to Roth? Are they asking the right question? And finally, Joe and Big Al spitball on ways to ensure that Amir in New Mexico has the maximum possible retirement income to last him to age 90 or 95.
