• How To Pay 0% Taxes On $120k+ Of Retirement Income

  Tax gain harvesting is one of the most underused but powerful strategies available to early retirees and those pursuing financial independence. In this episode, we explore how it works, who it's best suited for, and how it can help reduce long-term tax liability.Unlike tax loss harvesting, which involves selling investments at a loss to offset gains, tax gain harvesting is about intentionally realizing gains when you're in a low or zero percent tax bracket—allowing you to reset your cost basis without triggering federal tax in certain situations.This strategy is most effective in taxable brokerage accounts and is typically not applicable to retirement accounts like IRAs or 401(k)s. It tends to work best in years where your income is lower, such as early retirement or transition periods before drawing Social Security.Even with additional income from dividends or part-time work, many people can still benefit from this approach. However, it’s important to consider potential state tax implications as well.We’ll break down how tax gain harvesting fits into a broader retirement tax strategy, what makes someone a good candidate, and how to use it thoughtfully as part of your long-term financial plan.- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.

• This Is What Financial Planning Really Changes

  What does it really mean to change someone’s life through financial advice? While we’re not saving lives like doctors, the impact we have on our clients’ futures can be just as meaningful. Often, it’s not about the numbers—it’s about helping someone move forward when fear is holding them back.We’ve seen it firsthand. Like the dentist who had every detail in place to open her own practice but couldn’t take the final step. What helped wasn’t another spreadsheet—it was a mindset shift. Or the couple who had more than enough to retire but needed a gentle nudge to believe it was truly okay. These are the moments where great financial advice becomes personal and transformative.At Root, we believe a solid financial plan is about more than projections. It’s about building a life you’re excited to live. That’s why we focus not only on technical guidance, but on walking with our clients through the real-life decisions that matter most.-Viewing this video does not create an advisory relationship with Root Financial.

• Why $1.5M Is Enough To Retire If You Want To Spend Like This

  You don’t need $2 to $3 million to retire unless your lifestyle truly requires it. In this episode, we break down why your retirement number should be built around your personal spending needs, not a one-size-fits-all benchmark.With a well-diversified $1.5 million portfolio, many retirees can support $60,000 to $75,000 per year in spending, especially when using flexible withdrawal strategies that adjust with market conditions. We dive into how spending can adapt over time and how Social Security benefits can reduce the burden on your investments.We also explore a real-world retirement budget to show how far your money can go, including housing, healthcare, travel, and more. Plus, we discuss one of the most overlooked issues: retirees often underspend out of fear, even when their financial plan says they’re in the clear.Whether you’re years away or nearing the transition, this episode helps you shift from anxiety to clarity and reminds you that retirement isn’t just a number, it’s a strategy.- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.

• The 4% Rule: Is It Still the Key to Early Retirement in 2025?

  The 4% withdrawal rule does not apply to early retirees since it's based on a 30-year timeline, not the 40+ years needed for early retirement. Guyton's guardrails approach offers a better alternative, allowing for 5.2-5.6% withdrawal rates by adapting spending based on market performance.• Guardrails approach uses flexible withdrawal rates that increase when markets perform well and decrease during downturns• Traditional 4% rule based only on S&P 500 and intermediate US bonds, while diversification across asset classes can increase safe withdrawal rates• First years of retirement often have high expenses (healthcare, education, travel) when your portfolio is most vulnerable• Bowling analogy: retirement planning with guardrails is like bowling with bumpers to avoid gutter balls• Business analogy: like a business owner, spend more when times are good, cut back when they aren't• Creating a "war chest" of safe assets reduces pressure on your growth investments during market downturns• Stress test your retirement plan against worst-case scenarios: market crashes, reduced Social Security, high inflation, living to 100- Advisory services are offered through Root Financial Partners, LLC, an SEC registered investment adviser.
