Insights

  • First ladder conversions become accessible at age 70 (5-year seasoning on conversions started at age 65).
  • ⚠️ Expenses not fully covered starting at age 65. Consider increasing bridge savings, starting conversions earlier, or reducing withdrawal target.
  • ⚠️ ACA MAGI threshold exceeded in 8 year(s). Switch to ACA Cliff-Aware strategy or reduce conversions in those years to preserve premium tax credits.
