Interesting Bill Bengen (Father Of 4% Rule) Video

I don’t think he sold anything. He did some research, wrote some papers about the minimum withdrawal, that’s it. It’s just research and if I was an advisor I’d be very aware of it and counsel people...

I agree it seems to point to thyroid but all my tests TSH, T3 and T4 are good.

Can you explain the ACA tax problem you would have? I don’t understand that. You don’t have to pay taxes on any money you gift, right?
