Want to keep more of your money every year? Pay attention to how taxes impact your finances, especially if you’re within 10 years of retirement. Too many people treat tax planning as a once-a-year event every April, but it’s a year-round task. In this episode, Dr. Michael Liersch talks with financial planner Doug Ulrich to clear up this common misconception and explain why tax planning is so important during your peak earning years. Michael and Doug also cover common tax questions about traditional versus Roth 401k contributions, the three money buckets to know and how to get started with tax planning versus tax preparation.
