Traditional vs Roth: Smarter Retirement Moves If You Have a Pension

from Joe Knows Retirement · host Joe Schmitz Jr.

Most people are told they'll be in a lower tax bracket in retirement, but if you have a pension, that's often not true. In this video, Joe breaks down Traditional vs Roth retirement accounts (401k, 403b, 457, TSP, IRA) and explain how to maximize your retirement savings while minimizing taxes. You'll learn when Roth makes sense, when it doesn't, and how pensions, Social Security, and RMDs can push taxes higher in retirement. This is especially important for higher-income earners and those with pensions who want tax diversification, flexibility, and smarter income planning. 🎥 Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/430T9Lv 📚Get a FREE copy of Joe's book "2% Club": https://keap.page/bsd964/2-percent-toolkit-podcast.html 🟥 Read our latest article featured in Kiplinger: https://www.kiplinger.com/retirement/dont-do-this-when-converting-retirement-savings-to-a-roth-ira 📞 Schedule a call with our team: https://peakretirementplanning.com/schedule-a-meeting/
