How Withdrawal Ordering Rules Reshape Your FIRE Plan

When you're living off a portfolio for 40 years, the order in which you sell assets can matter as much as how much you sell. In this episode, Lucas and Luna dig into tax-aware withdrawal sequencing—the often-overlooked strategy of drawing from taxable accounts, tax-deferred accounts, and Roth accounts in a specific order to stretch your nest egg further. They walk through a concrete example of a couple with $1.5 million across three account types, showing how a simple ordering rule can add years of income. They also explore the 'Roth first' debate, the role of capital gains harvesting, and how to adapt the strategy when you're hit with an unexpected expense. If you're building a FIRE plan that needs to last decades, this episode gives you a practical framework to reduce taxes and sequence risk without sacrificing flexibility. #WithdrawalOrdering #TaxAwareWithdrawal #FIRE #FinancialIndependence #RetireEarly #RothIRA #TaxableAccounts #TaxDeferred #CapitalGains #RetirementPlan #SequenceRisk #DrawdownStrategy #PortfolioManagement #PersonalFinance #RetirementPlanning #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FIREPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
