RBS 223: How Bracket Filling Can Lower Your Tax Bill in Retirement
A viewer recently asked about bracket filling:"I haven't heard you or other financial advisors say much about "bracket filling" in retirement. Is it reasonable to think that in retirement I should be filling a tax bracket up with pre-tax accounts, then using after-tax accounts for withdrawals that reach into the higher bracket? Is there a way to model this in Bolden?"It's a great question that we cover in this video.Resources Mentioned in VideoBoldin: https://go.robberger.com/boldin/yt-EN...Join the Newsletter.

RBS 222: The New Tax Law Changes and How They May Affect Retirement
The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has brought us a number of changes to the tax laws. Some changes are "permanent," meaning it would take an act of Congress and the President to change them. Some are "temporary," meaning they expire at some point in the future. Almost all of them can affect how we plan for retirement, particularly when it comes to Roth conversion strategies, tax-gain harvesting, and even traditional retirement account distributions.In this video, I walk through the key tax provisions of the OBBBA, and then cover how they may affect retirement planning.NOTE: ProjectionLab has updated its software to account for the OBBBA tax changeshttps://robberger.com/tools/projectio...ResourcesAndy Panko's article: https://static.twentyoverten.com/5d25...U.S. Bank Tax Bracket article: https://www.usbank.com/wealth-managem...Join the Newsletter.
