The reality of taxes in retirement starts to become more evident the closer you get, and it’s not uncommon for people to wish they had contributed more to a Roth while they were saving.

Jake Doser, CFP®, CPWA® and Nick Colantuono, CFP® will break down the Roth conversion and discuss the factors you need to weigh before deciding to convert any money. With it being the end of the year, this is the perfect time to be having this conversation.
