Part 5/7:
Dave expressed concerns about the immediate tax impact of converting his $600,000 in 401(k) funds, as he would need to cover a significant tax bill. The host reassured him that while the initial outlay might seem daunting, it’s essential to consider the overall growth potential and the likelihood of not needing to withdraw those funds as they age. This perspective positions the benefits of a Roth IRA as potentially preferable given his long-term investment strategy.
