Why Consider a Roth Conversion?

What do baseball and retirement have in common

Did you know that baseball and retirement have a lot in common? For instance, in the game of baseball when you constantly go for homeruns you are going to strikeout from time-to-time. In much the same way, when you go for the big returns in retirement you are going to experience some losses. That's why we believe it's more important to avoid those big losses than to capture those big returns. You have won the game already from a retirement standpoint. Let's focus on getting on base often so we are giving ourselves the best opportunity to score. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHqBS_QsKRo
