How to Use a Roth Conversion After 50
from Late-Career Conversations with Fexingo: 50+ Professionals, Encore Careers, and Pre-Retirement · host Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore an underused strategy for professionals over 50: converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA during a low-income year between jobs or in early semi-retirement. They walk through the mechanics, the tax math, and the five-year rule, using the example of a 57-year-old marketing director who took a consulting contract and converted $50,000 at a 12% marginal rate. They also discuss the trade-offs for those who plan to leave money to heirs versus those who need the funds for their own retirement. Practical, specific, and timely for anyone navigating a late-career transition. #RothConversion #RetirementPlanning #TaxStrategy #LateCareer #EncoreCareer #IRA #RothIRA #FinancialPlanning #CareerTransition #SemiRetirement #WealthManagement #TaxEfficient #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #Finance #Retirement #PreRetirement Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
