  • How much can I safely spend each month in retirement?
  • Will my investments provide enough income to last the rest of my life?

Tax & Roth Strategies

  • Should I complete a Roth conversion — and if so, how much?
  • What’s my best long-term tax bracket strategy?
  • Should I realize capital gains this year or defer them?
  • How can I reduce future tax exposure, including Medicare IRMAA impacts?
