You have to do the math for each situation but for someone with no other income, many times paying 10% early withdrawal penalty puts more money in your pocket than going the brokerage route. It is really hard to beat the tax savings from the traditional accounts.

Yes, I understand that but I have a brokerage account and for a very long time, my withdrawals will only be considered long term gains which, because I’m managing my income level via strategic withdrawals, will be at a zero tax rate. In essence, it’s almost just like a Roth.

You would likely be better off paying a 10% penalty on early 401k than using a brokerage.

I’m not following this. Could you explain a little?
My daughter and son in law just bought a house and the inspector came up with a list of 10 or so things to be corrected. Nothing major but way too involved for DIY. Thanks ahead of time.

I put everything possible on a CC, pay it off monthly and get cash back at year end. It works for us.

For me, that was the whole point. You’ll be fine.
That’s great news. I’m one year into retirement and it’s better than I had imagined.

I retired a year ago at 58. Best decision I ever made and it’s even better than I had imagined. And yes, stress free Sunday nights are awesome. Then again, every night is stress free and awesome.
Congratulations. I retired a year ago at 58. Best decision I ever made and it’s even better than I had imagined. You’re gonna love it.
Thanks. That still involves Roth conversions, which can easily get you to no taxes. But I don’t consider that “pulling $100k and not paying any taxes”, as mentioned above. You did pay taxes, but you paid earlier at 12%.
