Key quotes:

[4:51] “When you’re in retirement and you’re going on a potentially fixed income, should you be concerned about taxes? And I need to be concern, should I do something different? What do I need to do differently?” – Criss Crombie

[5:45] “There’s a lot of questions that come up as people transition and they don’t really know exactly what to do or if they should do anything at all.” – Criss Crombie

[8:08] “You’re going to pay taxes along the way . Well if that nest egg is ground significantly you could have a potential tax burden. And for the rest of your life you continue to draw those required minimum distributions . You’re paying taxes along the way…. It’s a potential time bomb waiting to go off.” – Criss Crombie

[14:13] Annuities are good solution for a lot of people. They could be taxed a little bit different depending on the original source of the funds. If they count them from 401k and they put it into an IRA type of thing, they’re just taxed as ordinary income. If they come from non-qualified money, annuities can even be more tax favorable, as an income source during retirement. - Criss Crombie
