Listen Later

In this episode of the FIN LYT by EWA Podcast, Matt Blocki and Chris Pavcic dig into a detailed case study involving a recently widowed retiree in her mid-seventies with a $3 million investment portfolio. They discuss essential planning strategies for managing taxes, Medicare, and portfolio allocations during retirement. The conversation highlights the importance of proactive financial planning to ensure long-term stability and tax efficiency.


Matt and Chris explore the “widow penalty”, tax bracket management, and Medicare implications. They recommend strategic Roth conversions to optimize tax efficiency and reduce future RMDs. Additionally, they discuss the benefits of using a donor-advised fund for charitable contributions, leveraging appreciated assets to maximize tax savings. The episode also covers optimal portfolio allocation, emphasizing a balanced approach with bonds and equities, and the advantages of direct indexing for tax loss harvesting.
