Taxes, taxes, and MORE TAXES. Throughout our life we have taxes. Every dollar earned, invested, transacted, or grown has some type of tax plan. At the end of the year, we count it all up to make sure we pay the IRA what we owe. While working and earning a paycheck, taxes aren't your favorite thing, but at least you are still earning an income. In retirement, while living on what you saved, how do you effectively manage paying and controlling taxes? What if taxes go up? These are some questions Tim Stearns, CFP® discusses on "Protect & Grow" and when putting together the written plan for retirement. It is smart to have savings, but it's even smarter to manage taxes and keep as much as possible.
