    I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

      I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

    Its really hard to say what the tax brackets are going to be given the total financial disaster we call the Federal Government. But while rates are low 12%, take out as much as you can of pre-tax and stay within the 12% bracket. If married, that expands the amount. You don't have to spend it. Withdrawal amounts are not always tied to your annual expenses.

    Thank you for doing this video. I think there are so many people for whom the bulk of their reitirement savings are pretax and there just isn't a lot of information about how to manage it. Sure I'd love to have one third in a brokerage account and one third in a Roth, but that's not where I'm at and I'm honestly confused about how people end up with that sort of asset location. I had always assumed that spending more, before RMD age could be a valid strategy and this video assures me that I wasn't way off base. Thanks. Now, if you could do a few more about this exact subject, I'l love to hear about other ways of managing a portfolio that is virtually all pre-tax.

    • @kevinschultz6091
      @kevinschultz6091 4 місяці тому +1

      Short answer? Earn a lot of money, and save 90k a year.
      1. Max out your 401k + Employer match: 30k pre-tax, assuming your employer matches 50%.
      2. Max out your mega-backdoor Roth: another 30k or so.
      3. Invest 30k a year in a brokerage account.
      Obviously that's oversimplified and requires that a MBD be available - I'm currently at 50% Roth, 40% 401k, and 10% brokerage, due to conversions I did while under-employed during the 2010's. (ie, my tax rate was relatively low as a contractor, so I transfered my 401k from my contrating agency into my IRA, and converted up to the next tax bracket for 10 years or so.) My income is higher now, so I'm currently splitting 50/50 with my Roth/401k, via the backdoor and Mega-Backdroor strategies.

    This - and the one Justin did earlier. is excellent! I was 'retired' (laid off) in 2019 and never worked again. I saved HARD during my career, I don't recall a Roth 401K available but when I was aware of Roth's in general I was making over the limits at the time, and I really liked the tax break then anyway b/c I didnt have dependent decustions. I am 60 now. My Fidelity Team lead and I discussed Roth conversions and he said he didn't think it was worth it, and, to a point I don't mind paying taxes via RMDs (still gotta live long enough first - LOL) but I was still worried a LOT about IRMAA being a double hit at that point! So now I'm thinking I could just max out the 25% bracket and keep that in my regular brokerage account, for the next 15 yrs and lessen t he hit (maybe) that way without the additional hoops of Roth conversions!

    Great content, but I think the terminology is a little mis-leading to investors. I think you mean "Tax-Deferred". Pre-tax is a term investors use for gains that have not been taxes yet on investments using after tax funds. In a 401k or IRA, all the money will be taxed. Thus, the investment holistically is tax-deferred.

    Not one mention of the "B" word. The focus of the video is "spending more". The median income for retirees in the US is $50K and the average is a little over $70K. What you'll NEVER hear from a financial advisor is good advice about how to live well, while on a reasonable budget. Why is that? Because they get paid based on "AUM" - assets under management. The more money they convince you to save, the more money THEY make...off of your money. Keep that in mind when you watch any video from an asset manager...their motivations are not pure and their advice is not sound.

    Does the government count brokerage account withdrawals as income for tax purposes? How does the taxation of brokerage account long term gain play into managing tax brackets?

    • @richweadon9376
      @richweadon9376 4 місяці тому +1

      The funds deposited into a brokerage account are after tax money, so withdraws of the original deposit amount do not count as income. You will have to deal with dividends and short/long term capital gains that the account generates, but that is still less of a tax hit than the whole pot being pre-tax.
      You can also make the case that assets that will generate long term capital gains should be in a brokerage account rather than a 401k/IRA. In the pre-tax account you'll pay tax on long term CG at your ordinary tax rate, in the brokerage account you'll probably pay 0 or 15%.
      As long as you can deal with the 5 year rule at conversion, Roth is the gold standard for avoiding taxes (after tax on the original contribution has been paid). It also limits income for the purpose of Social Security, IRMAA, and if you're under 65 and want to get health care under the affordable care act.

Most people that were saving in a traditional never maxed them out so they actually saved more due to the fact they had more to add as it was before tax…. If you pull a modest sum from your Pretax you’re likely to be in a low tax bracket in retirement… You paid taxes all your working years it’s really no different in retirement plus you have the 15% of social security that is not taxed at the present time.
