Everyone seems to be talking about Roth conversions, but what if the right move for your neighbor is the wrong move for you? In this episode of Retire Right: Ohio's Guide to Financial Independence, Chris Kichurchak breaks down one of retirement planning's most talked-about strategies. He explains how Roth conversions can help reduce future required minimum distributions (RMDs), manage taxes, and potentially improve legacy planning, while also discussing the impact on Medicare premiums through IRMAA. Chris explores when a Roth conversion may make sense, when it may not, and why timing, income levels, longevity, and tax planning all play a role. When it comes to Roth strategies, the answer is rarely one-size-fits-all.
