@lisa99 I am struggling with this exact issue, figuring out a way to raise operating cash (~50k per year) while managing the $67k cliff. I’m 58 with about $1400/mo subsidy for wife and I. I am considering a blowout year too but can’t fathom the tax and subsidy repayment hit (talk about denting your returns?!). The ACA individual mandate is gone so if you can find a catastrophic health insurance plan for 1 year, or one of those faith-based co-ops, that may help. I am hearing the big insurers have those cheaper plans but are not yet fully marketing them. You might also be able to Home Equity Loan your home for cash but I sleep better at night knowing I have no mortgage. I have pretty much given up on my Roth conversion ladder due to having to manage MAGI for ACA cliff purposes.
On a more fun note, does The Villages have an early retirees club? Bet they have some tips on ACA cliff income management. Wife and I are in Texas (also a no income tax state) but considering a move to Florida. Do you like it there? Maybe DM me to keep the replies out of your original thread.
