#678: Anonymous (01:52):  "Victoria" is 51, single, and still enjoying their W2 job while building a side business from a passion hobby. They’re thinking about heavy Roth conversions, planning for retirement, and wondering how much traditional money to leave untouched. Should Alex prioritize tax efficiency, or focus on growth and flexibility? Anonymous (34:29): "Gwyneth" and her husband moved to the U.S. to start a sanctuary for senior dogs and cats. With $100,000 in debt soon paid off, two properties in hand, and a dream to buy land for their sanctuary, they’re torn: sell, refinance, or keep their rental property? What’s the best way to fund a long-term dream while building wealth? Soyman (53:28): Soyman is 25, saving aggressively, and planning to take all of 2027 off to go backpacking. They see a rare tax opportunity to convert nearly $30,000 to a Roth at a negative tax rate—but is the strategy worth the small cash buffer and other risks?
