Roth Conversion Strategy
Convert IRA → Roth during low-income years to reduce RMDs and future taxes
Conversion Settings
⚡ Converting $20K–$40K/year stays under ACA thresholds while reducing future RMDs. Conversions count as MAGI — stay in the $60–90K band.

Risk Analysis
Key threats to the plan and how to manage them
Sequence of Returns Risk
A major downturn in the first 3–5 years of retirement is the #1 portfolio killer. Withdrawing during a down market locks in losses.
Mitigation:
· Keep 2–3 years of spending ($240–$360K) in cash/short-term bonds
· Draw from Roth first if market drops >20%
· Delay large IRA draws in bad years; use Roth buffer
· BTC only as reserve — never forced to sell
· Keep 2–3 years of spending ($240–$360K) in cash/short-term bonds
· Draw from Roth first if market drops >20%
· Delay large IRA draws in bad years; use Roth buffer
· BTC only as reserve — never forced to sell
ACA Rule Changes
ACA subsidies could change in 2026 elections. Enhanced subsidies expire unless renewed.
Mitigation:
· Build $25K/yr healthcare cushion in cash reserves
· HSA funds cover worst-case out-of-pocket
· 8-year bridge ends at Medicare (65) — limited exposure window
· Flexibility to increase IRA draws if subsidies disappear
· Build $25K/yr healthcare cushion in cash reserves
· HSA funds cover worst-case out-of-pocket
· 8-year bridge ends at Medicare (65) — limited exposure window
· Flexibility to increase IRA draws if subsidies disappear
Inflation Risk
$120K today = $152K in 10 years at 3% inflation. Spending creep compounds fast.
Mitigation:
· Portfolio return (7%) > inflation (3%) = real growth
· Increase IRA draws gradually in later years
· Medicare at 65 removes healthcare inflation pressure
· BTC upside provides inflation hedge
· Portfolio return (7%) > inflation (3%) = real growth
· Increase IRA draws gradually in later years
· Medicare at 65 removes healthcare inflation pressure
· BTC upside provides inflation hedge
Longevity Risk
Planning to 90 = 33 years of withdrawals. Portfolio must sustain the full bridge.
Mitigation:
· Roth conversions now = tax-free pool later
· SSI at 67 reduces portfolio pressure permanently
· BTC upside = long-tail cushion
· Lake house equity = real asset reserve
· Roth conversions now = tax-free pool later
· SSI at 67 reduces portfolio pressure permanently
· BTC upside = long-tail cushion
· Lake house equity = real asset reserve
