I've been paying very little tax but looking forward to this year. But in retirement, I'm hoping it will be below $2000 for federal, $0 on state, according to Taxcaster. Kudos for people who are still working and paying tax. I'm enjoying my moocher's phase, I think this is one reason why I decide working is not worth it.
+1. This has been a subjective part of our decision process. Paying more in income and payroll taxes each year than we spend on everything else has gotten irritating. (Even though, I grant, it is indicative of being in a good position overall.)
Can't wait to see what returns will show in retirement--even with big Roth conversions.
