RBS 162: In What Order Should You Spend Down Your Retirement Accounts?

About this episode

In this video, we'll discuss how to optimize the tax efficiency of your retirement withdrawals. New Retirement: https://go.robberger.com/new-retireme...

Many retirees have up to three account types: taxable, tax-deferred (e.g., traditional IRA), and tax-free (Roth IRA or HSA). The conventional wisdom tells us to spend the taxable accounts first, then the tax-deferred, and finally the tax-free. It turns out that this approach is rarely optimal.

By making a few adjustments to the conventional approach, particularly in early retirement, we can increase our after-tax spending and the longevity of our portfolio.
