Is Dave Ramsey STILL Wrong on Roth Conversions?
About this Episode
In the past, David McKnight has been critical of gurus like Dave Ramsey. However, this episode looks at a video in which Ramsey seems to have slightly changed his views.
Ramsey emphasizes that one key benefit of a Roth IRA is the potential to drastically reduce or even eliminate Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs).
David explains that the decision to pursue a Roth conversion typically depends on whether you expect your future tax rate to be higher than it is today.
David discusses a missed opportunity in Ramsey's advice to a caller, highlighting a critical point Ramsey seems to have overlooked.
While David acknowledges a solid point made by Ramsey, he also identifies what he describes as "a huge blind spot in Ramsey's worldview."
David highlights a "right move" by Ramsey – whether it's a deliberate policy shift or Ramsey unintentionally cornering himself remains to be seen…
David praises Ramsey's advocacy for Roth accounts, a sentiment he wholeheartedly agrees with.
