  GRFTFS: RMDs Are Coming — Don't Miss Your Lowest Tax Bracket Window

  Aug 8, 202629 min

  Waiting until RMDs force your hand could cost you a tax bracket you'll never see again. On this episode of The Get Ready for the Future Show, the GenWealth team tackles these four listener questions: • Should you do Roth conversions before RMDs kick in — even in a "low" bracket? • Why the first 5 years of retirement matter more than your average return • Is 60% of your net worth in one company stock too risky? • Do you need life insurance in your 20s with no kids or mortgage yet?

  Fastest Four: What is My Retirement Number?

  Aug 7, 20263 min

  Retirees fear running out of money more than they fear death. That's not an exaggeration — it's what's driving a massive gap between what retirees have saved and what they're actually willing to spend. A married 65-year-old couple withdraws just 2.1% of their retirement savings a year. A single retiree: 1.9%. Meanwhile, 71% of workers say they'd be reluctant to touch their savings at all in retirement. There are two reasons for this "Just in Case" retirement mindset — and only one in five retirees have the one document that fixes it: a written retirement income plan. Scott Inman breaks down why the number you should be chasing isn't $1M or $2M — it's a monthly income number.

  GRFTFS: The $100,000 Social Security Mistake Married Couples Make

  Aug 1, 202628 min

  When should you and your spouse claim Social Security — and could getting it wrong cost you six figures over your lifetime? In this episode of The Get Ready for the Future Show, we answer two listener questions: A couple heading into retirement can't agree on when each of them should start claiming Social Security — and why coordinating as a household (not two separate filings) can be worth well over $100,000 over a lifetime. A couple weighing whether long-term care insurance is worth the cost — and why waiting to decide can end up costing far more than the coverage itself. Plus: a preview of our upcoming webinar, "2026 Mid-Year Outlook," featuring GenWealth Chief Investment Officer Andrew Beatty. Have a question for the show?
