Over 40? This $300,000 Mistake Quietly Wrecks Retirement

Описание: If you are between 58 and 67 with $740,000 to $2.1 million saved, one IRS rule could quietly remove over $300,000 from your retirement.
This happens even if markets cooperate and you believe you are doing everything right.
The mistake is waiting.
The rule is RMDs colliding with Social Security taxation and Medicare IRMAA.
The consequence is permanent lifetime tax damage to your money and higher healthcare costs you cannot reverse.

This video explains how retirement taxes really work — and how IRS rules around 401(k), Traditional IRA withdrawals, Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), Social Security taxation, Medicare IRMAA, and Roth conversions quietly shape your retirement income.

Most people focus on saving and investing.
Very few understand how retirement income is actually taxed.

That misunderstanding leads to:

• Higher lifetime taxes
• Reduced Social Security benefits
• Higher Medicare premiums (IRMAA)
• Forced withdrawals at the worst possible time
• Permanent damage to long-term retirement income

This channel focuses on the real mechanics behind retirement planning:

– 401(k) and Traditional IRA tax rules
– Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
– Social Security taxation formulas
– Medicare IRMAA brackets
– Roth conversion strategy
– IRS retirement regulations
– Tax-efficient retirement income planning

We also analyze the psychology behind financial decisions:

Why intelligent people make predictable financial mistakes.
How money traps form over decades.
How behavior and incentives quietly destroy long-term investing results.
And how disciplined decision making protects wealth over a lifetime.
