The Roth Move That Could Cost You Control

Think a backdoor Roth is a simple workaround? Think again. In this episode, Dan Groben and Phil Menard break down how backdoor Roth strategies really work, why they’re just a traditional IRA contribution followed by a conversion, and the small missteps that can trigger big tax consequences. They discuss income limits, pro rata rules, and the importance of understanding your full financial picture before making a move—especially if you have multiple accounts or are nearing required minimum distribution age. The conversation also explores why Roth conversions should be part of a broader tax strategy and how future tax rates and Social Security uncertainty factor into retirement planning decisions.

The Backdoor Roth Trap No One Talks About

A 40-year retirement sounds like a stretch, until you realize it’s already happening. This episode explores how longer lifespans are reshaping retirement planning, from managing decades of income needs to navigating rising healthcare costs and inflation. The conversation highlights why relying on market performance or old rules of thumb can leave gaps, especially as pensions become rare and Social Security faces uncertainty. With more responsibility shifting to individuals, building a plan that accounts for longevity, volatility, and unexpected expenses becomes essential. It’s a candid look at what retirement could really require, and why planning with extra margin may matter more than ever.

Why Annuities Are Quietly Taking Over Retirement Plans

Your portfolio can quietly drift into dangerous territory without you realizing it. This episode of the Retirement Results Podcast explores portfolio rebalancing and why many investors nearing retirement unknowingly take on more risk than intended. The conversation breaks down how strong-performing sectors can overwhelm diversification, how risk tolerance shifts as retirement approaches, and why unmanaged portfolios often become concentrated in a small group of stocks.

When Your Portfolio Starts Sleeping at the Wheel
