Taxes in Early Retirement (MadFIentist Links)
« on: June 30, 2015, 12:03:25 PM »
The MadFIentist has a number of topics on tax optimization and (legal) avoidance/reduction.

His "archives" include a section called "Tax Avoidance" with the following topics (as of June 2015, he adds more all the time):
Retire Even Earlier Without Earning More or Spending Less
Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA – The Final Battle
The Ultimate Retirement Account
Lab Rat and Assumptions
Semiretirement
Tax-Loss Harvesting
Tax-Gain Harvesting
Triple Value of Income
How to Hack Your HSA
Front-Loading
Roth IRA Horse Race
After-Tax Contributions and a Surprise Gift from the IRS

They are well worth checking out!
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
If you want to know more about me, this Business Insider profile tells the story pretty well.
I (rarely) blog at AdventuringAlong.com. Check out the Now page to see what I'm up to currently.

Good stuff, his archives would serve as a good Tax Optimization 101 course.

I agree these resources are great - I thought I was settled on my post retirement tax plan until I read The Power Of Zero which suggests taxes will increase dramatically in our future - this is something i've never seen MMM or MadFi ever consider/discuss but it seems like a valid argument to always chose Roth during our current low tax bracket world - see my post here and please let me know your thoughts;
