Erik in MN is divorced, and the OC Birdman of South OC is getting divorced. Should Erik contribute to pre-tax retirement accounts or Roth? How should the Birdman and his soon-be-ex time the sale of their house and the filing of their taxes? That’s today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 469 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Plus, Don has questions about the 401(k) rule of 55 and excess 529 plan college savings. Valerie in Portland wants to know what to do with her old 401(k), and how to invest her new retirement accounts. An advisor tells K-Dog in IN to save cash or open a Roth, then live on those funds and get free ACA "Obamacare" healthcare in early retirement. Is that really possible? Also, what should be Laura in WA’s sequence of retirement withdrawals, and is there any benefit to her doing Roth conversions? Should RJ in CA convert his or his wife’s rollover IRA to the top of the giant 24% tax bracket?
