Assume that TRADITIONAL retirement planning is equivalent to meat & potatoes. Is that a healthy diet to adopt for your entire career? The IRS loves for you to “eat” this way! It makes for a tremendous feast for them when you are done. Why? Traditional qualified retirement plans convert ALL growth inside the plan to an ordinary income for tax purposes. Furthermore, the IRS imposes HUGE penalties in addition to the ordinary tax if you don’t take the distribution when they want you to.
When does your $1,000,000 retirement plan ever convert to a usable $1,000,000?
Never! Your account is worth much less if you want to convert your retirement account to food, safety and stuff.
If you die with significant wealth and no financial plan, the amount that actually transfers or converts to wealth could be pennies on the dollar!
