Why Timing Matters More Than Taxes Alone
About this episode
The wrong tax move at the wrong time can quietly reshape retirement. In this episode, Tim Wood breaks down when Roth conversions make sense, why timing matters more than rules of thumb, and how partial conversions can offer flexibility as tax brackets shift. The conversation also explores common retirement blind spots—guessing instead of planning, spending too much too early, overlooking healthcare costs, and assuming you’ll always be able to work. Tim explains why focusing on income first helps retirees navigate inflation, market volatility, and long‑term uncertainty with greater clarity.
