When it comes to taxes in retirement, one question matters more than most: What will your tax rate be in the future? The challenge is… we don’t know. Tax laws can change. Income sources can shift. And what feels predictable today may look different down the road. That’s why tax planning is often less about reacting later — and more about thinking ahead. You may hear more conversations today around strategies like: • Roth contributions • Roth conversions • Managing taxable income over time Not because they’re “trending” — but because they’re part of a broader conversation around flexibility in the future. The goal isn’t to guess. It’s to understand your options and how they fit into your overall plan. Because retirement isn’t just about how much you’ve saved. It’s about how efficiently those dollars can be used over time. Question: Do you think tax rates will be higher, lower, or about the same in the future?
