    💲 NEED FINANCIAL ADVICE? 💲
    1) Google "fee-only financial adviser" or visit www.NAPFA.org (largest association of fee-only financial advisers). NOT an affiliate link
    2) The first question to ask any financial adviser is, "Are you a fiduciary to me 100% of the time". Get the answer in writing
    3) Please note that some people call themselves "fee-based". This is NOT the same as fee-only. Fee-only advisers have committed to being fiduciary to you 100% of the time.
    4) Personally, I would only hire an adviser who is a fiduciary to me 100% of the time. This is not a suggestion on what you should do. Just sharing my personal preference.
    ⚠️ Azul's "Scammer" Warning ➡ PLEASE READ! ⚠️
    Be careful of scammers. In the comments section, I will NEVER ask you to contact me, offer any investment products, recommend a stock broker, or anything similar. Some scam bot commenters 'ask' for investment help, and later, other comment bots reply with "how great X idea/investment/person is" in the replies. These are scam threads. Do not fall for them.

    The decisions on how to invest, when to retire, and other financial planning topics are some of the most important financial decisions you will make in your life. I urge you to seek professional financial advice as you make this decision. Ideally, from a financial adviser, AND a CPA AND an attorney. Having the perspective of all three professions will help you make the right decision for you and your family.

    Spoiler Alert: There are no "get rich" programs. Rather, just basic blocking & tackling and putting in time and care. Do your homework, choose wisely and (IMHO) work with experienced professionals who are fiduciary to you 100% of the time.

    Nobody becomes financially successful overnight. They put in the hard work behind the scenes, but we often only see the end result. Fear is a dangerous obstacle that hinders us from taking the bold steps necessary to reach our goals. You have to contend with inflation, recession, and decisions from the Fed. I was able to increase my portfolio by $289k in just a few months. You need to seek help from the right sources.

      I think it's not always about fear, Sometimes realistic factors discourage people from reaching their goals in life. For instance, I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value

      Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

    Thank you, Azul for this reminder but, this is not "new news". In 1991, made my first traditional 401(k) contribution and, I thought at the time ... well, this is nice but, what if, they change and make the tax rates higher during my retirement years. Currently, my plan is to never touch either my 401(k) or 457 plan funds until, I reach the mandatory withdrawal age of 75. During my 60's and early 70's, I will continue to live monthly using my private sector pension, my public sector pension, social security, and personal savings (smile ... smile).

      If you retire at 62-65 and can remain in the 12% for the time you have to take RMD’s which will be 75 and you live till 85 which actually is over the average life span then your really not paying very much. So if paying 12% for 12yrs and paying even 24% for 13yrs, if you divide the both that’s 18% tax total for the 25yrs and even lower if your only at 22% tax rate at 13yrs which would average 17% which is not bad at all compared to a lot of countries..

    The eternal struggle for me is that its unlikely for me to save the amount I'll need to retire in Roth alone due to limits. So I max out the Roth, then the 401k. I also have a traditional IRA that I started many years ago. Roth conversions are tough because you need the money for taxes that year to pay them off. I think the moat efficient way will be to look at the money at thr time and take out strategically from the individual accounts.

      The Roth account also adds another value if married and become a widower. Then your tax rate spreads decrease by basically half and expose you to potentially a higher tax rate in future beyond increases from the government.
