#8 – Ed Slott on IRAs, Taxes and Retirement Savings

Ed Slott is a nationally recognized IRA distribution specialist, professional speaker, television personality, and best-selling author. He is known for his unparalleled ability to turn advanced tax strategies into understandable, actionable, and entertaining advice. This is the most interesting conversation we’ve ever had about taxes. 

Wes and Ed discuss what exactly the new ‘retirement savings time bomb’ is and how big of a threat it is to retirement savers, understanding Roth IRAs vs. IRAs, the foundational principle of taxes, what planning options retirement savers now have, when to convert from traditional to Roth, potential tax changes under the new administration and so much more. As investors, there are several lessons we can all take from Ed today and we hope this conversation leads you to become a smarter taxpayer and retiree.
