You will learn:
How a Section 351 exchange into an ETF can provide diversification while deferring capital gains

Most retirement plans assume your spending will stay flat, or that you will need about 80 percent of your pre-retirement income.
But retirement does not actually work that way.
In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFP®, CFA®, explains what the research shows about how retirement spending changes over time and why relying on outdated rules like the 80 percent rule can lead to over-saving and under-living or under-planning altogether.
Drawing on research from David Blanchett’s Retirement Spending Smile, Morningstar data, and EBRI studies, Tyler covers:
Why retirement spending is not a straight line
How spending often declines in mid-retirement and rises again later
The Go Go, Slow Go, and No Go phases of retirement
How fear of running out of money causes many retirees to under-spend
A practical way to estimate your real retirement spending needs

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) may be the most powerful tax-free retirement planning tool available, yet most people use them completely wrong.
If you’re enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), your HSA could offer triple tax-free growth and a strategic way to fund healthcare and Medicare costs in retirement.
Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, breaks down how to turn your HSA from a simple medical spending account into a long-term, tax-efficient retirement asset.
In this video, you’ll learn:
HSA eligibility rules, 2026 contribution limits, catch-up contributions, and the December “last-month rule”
How High Deductible Health Plans qualify you to contribute
Why leaving your HSA in cash limits long-term growth
How to invest your HSA using brokerage options
The “invest now, reimburse later” strategy to build tax-free retirement liquidity
How HSAs can cover Medicare premiums, COBRA coverage, long-term care premiums, and other retirement healthcare costs

Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are not just mandatory withdrawals — they are forced taxable income that can quietly reshape your retirement tax picture.
Higher income from RMDs can trigger increased marginal tax rates, IRMAA surcharges, greater Social Security taxation, and long-term compounding tax consequences — especially for married couples navigating the widow/widower tax penalty.
In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, breaks down how to think about RMD tax planning as a long-term process — not just a once-a-year withdrawal decision — including:
Why RMD planning is really tax bracket management over time
How Roth conversions can shrink future Required Minimum Distributions
Smart timing and withholding strategies that create flexibility
How Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) reduce taxable income
The role of income targeting and IRMAA awareness
What types of assets to convert — and why it matters

How much cash should you really hold in retirement?
Too little cash can create stress and force poor decisions during market downturns. Too much cash can quietly erode a well-built retirement plan through inflation, taxes, and lost growth.
In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, breaks down how to think about retirement cash reserves in 2026, including:
How much cash is actually enough in retirement — and when it becomes too much
How interest rates change the cash trade-off in 2026
Where cash really lives inside a well-built portfolio (not just checking and savings accounts)
This conversation is designed for people approaching retirement or already retired who want to make smarter, more intentional cash decisions — without chasing yields or taking unnecessary risk.

Many parents and grandparents want to help family financially, but gift tax rules are often misunderstood.
In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, breaks down the 2026 gift tax rules in plain English, including how much you can give without triggering tax, when gifting appreciated stock makes sense, and how to properly structure family loans using IRS guidelines. We also explain when a gift tax return is required—and why filing one doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll owe tax.
If you’re considering gifting money to children or grandchildren, this episode will help you do it the right way.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🧾 Gifts over the limit require filing IRS Form 709
🧱 Using appreciated stock instead of cash to potentially lower taxes
📉 Kids in lower tax brackets can sell gifted stock at reduced or zero tax
📝 Family loans are an alternative to large gifts and offer more control
🧠 Gifting strategy should consider estate size, tax brackets, and family dynamics

For decades, the 4% rule has been used as a simple guideline for retirement spending—but it was never meant to be a guarantee.
In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, will revisit the research behind the 4% rule and explore new findings from its creator, Bill Bengen, suggesting that retirees may be able to spend more under updated assumptions. We explain why sequence-of-returns risk matters more than average returns, how thinking in terms of portfolio “runway” can help manage downturns, and why dynamic withdrawal strategies often lead to better long-term outcomes.
If you’re wondering how much you can realistically spend in retirement, this episode will help you think about it the right way.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🔄 Retirement spending should be dynamic, not static
🧱 Diversification and flexible withdrawal strategies help weather market downturns
🛫 A “runway” of preservation assets (cash/bonds) buys time during volatility
🔧 Rebalancing and spending flexibility are critical to long-term success
💬 Planning should be annual, adaptive, and personalized—not one-and-done

Most investors focus on returns. Smart investors focus on what they keep after taxes.
In this episode of Retire Smarter, we break down how two portfolios can earn the same return—and still produce dramatically different tax outcomes. This isn’t about predicting markets or chasing performance. It’s about making structural investment decisions that reduce taxes and improve after-tax results in 2026.
We walk through how to use tax-loss carryforwards intentionally, including how they interact with capital gains, Roth conversions, and rebalancing decisions—and why waiting indefinitely to realize gains is often a costly mistake. We also cover asset location strategy, explaining why where you hold investments (taxable, tax-deferred, or Roth) often matters more than the investments themselves.

Over the past month, we released a six-part video series breaking down how ultra-wealthy investors think about taxes, and more importantly, how they legally minimize them.
In this episode, we’ve stitched the entire Tax-Aware, Long-Short (TALS™) Strategy series together to allow you to hear the full framework in one place, and we’re making it our year-end podcast episode. We’ll talk about why traditional tax strategies fall short for high earners, how advanced tax-aware investing actually works, and the investment structures that have historically been reserved for ultra-high-net-worth families but are now becoming accessible to more investors.
If you want to see the charts, visuals, and examples that go along with this discussion, you can watch the full six-part video series on YouTubehere: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLz7lSTNSHng4fplwiwAD_26ou4CCU_GP-

Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s are powerful tools — but most people use them without a clear strategy. In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, breaks down how to think about Roth accounts before retirement, after retirement, and even how they impact your spouse and your legacy.
We’ll explore how to decide between pre-tax and Roth contributions while you’re still working, why your tax bracket today may not be your tax bracket in the future, and how early retirees can position assets to maximize ACA healthcare credits
Then, in retirement, we dive into one of the biggest planning questions: Should you prioritize Roth conversions or taxable gain harvesting? We explain the differences, how each affects your tax bill, and why IRMAA, NIIT, and future cash-flow needs all play a major role.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
🔍 Roth 401(k)s ≠ Roth IRAs - No income limits inside employer plans — huge advantage.
📊 Tax Bracket Targeting - Use your future bracket to decide Roth vs. pre-tax.
🏥 Near 65? Watch ACA Rules - Roth savings can preserve subsidies pre-Medicare.
🔄 Conversions After Retirement - Pay taxes strategically when income drops.
👩❤️👨Protect the Surviving Spouse - Single tax brackets + IRMAA penalties make Roths crucial.

For many retirees, healthcare costs before Medicare can be one of the biggest financial shocks — often exceeding $25,000 a year. But with the right planning, that same $25,000 can turn into a tax credit instead of an expense.

From understanding Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) to leveraging Roth accounts and taxable savings, you’ll see how advanced tax planning can make a big difference in bridging the healthcare gap to Medicare.
