Roth conversions are often portrayed as a no-brainer, but they are not suitable for everyone due to various factors like shadow taxes, lack of an undo button, and potential tax implications.

Shownotes Transcript

3️⃣ - Lack of cash flow to pay the tax bill 

4️⃣ - You just don’t want to :) 

5️⃣ - Future charitable giving goals

Roth conversions can be a wildly beneficial tax planning move for the right person...

...but they aren't a "no-brainer" for everyone. 

If you want to learn more about situations when converting money to a Roth IRA does NOT make sense, today's episode is for you.
