Many people are unaware that they must take money out of their retirement accounts at a certain age, regardless of whether they need it or not. This can result in a significant tax burden.

Mike and Ryan discuss how financial advisors often neglect to discuss taxes with their clients, as their focus is on accumulating assets. However, proper tax planning can lead to substantial savings and a more tax-efficient inheritance for future generations. Taking advantage of Roth conversions and other tax strategies before the 2026 sunset provision is crucial.
