Re: No need to invest for Europeans?

Just a hypothetical question. If most folks in Europe took this approach how would your capital markets gather cash to capitalize businesses? I suppose people outside of Europe would become the majority owners of European businesses?

Interesting thoughts and discussion on this thread!

Re: Start Roth after Retirement?

Thanks so much for the information everyone. It looks like my first step is to go ahead and open up the Roth IRAs. I will delve further into the recommended posts to see about how to go about the conversions in a logical manor.

Thanks again!

Start Roth after Retirement?

I'm 8 years from my Full SS age, but might take it early depending on the situation at the time.
I retired in early 2018 with an IRA and Taxable Account, but no ROTH Account. My wife retired a few years ago with and IRA and no ROTH account.

It appears to me I should / could open up a ROTH for tax year 2018 for myself and my wife now before the 2019 Tax Deadline. I'm eligible because I had earned income early in 2018, correct?

I could then start moving some of our Traditional IRA funds into the ROTH IRA's (paying taxes now) while my income is lower (no SS for me yet) and while tax rates are lower?

Am I missing anything obvious? Is there a reason not to do this and just stick with the traditional IRAs only?

Thanks so much!

Hmmmm -

I seem to remember an analysis done here that indicated you would have a hard time putting together a stock/bond mix with Index funds that would match the return of Wellington/Wellesley mix I thought TREVH put that out, but maybe he can jump in and correct me if I'm wrong.

You should be backing up the data on your computer. That way you can get all your files back on your computer if it goes bad.

Did I misread your question?
