There typically comes a time when your income sources drastically change from one source to another, or from one to multiple sources.

For most, this will be shifting from earning income from a career, to then living off your own savings, potential pensions, or even passive income from real estate or businesses.

During this phase of life is when you have the opportunity to capitalize on tax planning and reduce your lifetime tax bill substantially!

More specifically, I discuss:

• Planning early enough to be able to implement tax savings strategies.

• Getting strategic about when you claim Social Security for lifetime tax savings.

• Tax planning strategies for retirement accounts.

• Preserving your capital gains from taxation.

• Roth conversions during your “gap years”.
