You could be a millionaire on paper and still be vulnerable to a major tax surprise. In this episode of Michigan’s Retirement Coach, Mike Douglas breaks down what it really means to be a “paper millionaire” and why selling a business, downsizing a home, or tapping retirement accounts can trigger unexpected taxes. The conversation explores real-life examples involving business exits, real estate sales, Roth conversions, and Medicare premium impacts. The focus is on understanding tax rules ahead of big financial moves and how timing and structure can shape retirement income decisions.
