6 Reasons to Spend Your Roth IRA in Retirement
Episode description
Having a Roth IRA in retirement can be very powerful. It allows you to make tax-free distributions for retirement income and gives you flexibility around your tax brackets...
But I've noticed one thing. I/we as financial planners often suggest taking from your Roth IRA last for income in retirement so it has more time to compound tax-free. While this is often a good idea mathematically, I have been asking myself this question:
"Everyone is told to save to a Roth IRA so they have tax-free income in retirement, but when they get to retirement they are told not to spend from their Roth IRA. What's the point of having a Roth IRA if you aren't going to use it??"
In today's episode, I talk through this question and share 6 reasons you would spend your Roth IRA earlier in retirement. Enjoy!
