From what I understand they can only tax the GAINS in an IRA since you contribute to it with after tax money.

A Roth is pre tax dollars. So there is no tax on withdrawals. Your money grows tax free. A traditional IRA is pre tax dollars so every withdrawal is taxed.

Just a few ideas from this old guy: - If possible, contribute as much as you can to the Roth. The money can grow to a billion dollars and you will not be taxed on any of the gains when you withdraw. - Roth is a great vehicle because you can withdraw your PRINCIPAL contributions tax free (since you paid taxes on that one already). So for example if you contributed $100k, and it grew for several years, you could then withdraw any of the $100k without early withdrawal penalties or taxes. - Look into the “backdoor” IRA -> Roth conversion. (Insert obligatory CP joke here). Or the “mega”Roth backdoor conversion. If they’re still around. Been awhile since I researched those. |

Just thought I would bring this one back up to the top in case anyone new has retired lately.
The really nice part about retirement? When you have the Sunday Night and Monday Night games, there is no real rush to get up early in the AM to have to get to work. ![]() |

I retired in May at 62 and I've never been so happy. My favorite thing is having time to go at a slow pace with no set schedule. Especially time and energy to exercise and go hiking. I'm running 3 miles a few times a week and often doing mountain hikes on other days. Physically I feel amazing, and being outside and exercising so much is great for my mental health too. Can't recommend it enough! |

Starting on week 4 of retirement. I have enjoyed sleeping in that is for sure but I really need to get myself on a schedule to get up earlier and get to the honey-do list although I have knocked a few items out just to keep the honey happy.

Well, I am taking the plunge folks.
After 36 years of employment with the same outfit it is time. My last day will be February 28th. We then go to Mexico for 2-3 weeks...maybe longer right??? Looking forward to going into this with Spring on the horizon. Got travel plans ready and in my head thinking of all I want to do! I am pretty excited. 3 Months ago I was wishy washy about it, but now I am convinced, I am ready. I may re-enter the work force as a consultant as folks have already reached out asking. I am not going to immediately commit until I have a 2-3 months of retirement under my belt. BIG CHANGES on the horizon and I am pumped for the change. |
