Hello again,
We have been aggressively doing Roth conversions with all of our retirement funds the last several years due to losses in our business (due to growth/investment/debt etc.) and we now sit without about 500k in Roth Funds, little to nothing in Traditional (qualified) retirement funds, and 550k in brokerage, and 300 acres of leveraged farm land, that will pay reasonable cash rent when we get the loans paid off at the time of retirement.
We are on the verge of a large income spike going forward and considering converting the rest this year before 2024 income increases significantly.
Is there a downfall to being this heavily allocated into Roth this early?
If income is going to put us into the top 2 brackets or so for the rest of our working years (hopefully without any derailments) and a considerable amount of rental income coming in retirement years are we wrong to try to trim some of that tax burden by using qualified deferrals for the remainder of our working years or should we still be trying to do roth conversions when available/ just putting the money into a brokerage fund vs Qualified (401k/Traditional IRA/SEP-IRA/Simple IRA)
What is the group consensus on how much should be in each bucket as a percentage of a whole?
