Episode notes
Follow A Financial Order Of Operations
- Use a financial order of operations to decide what to do with your next dollar.
- Follow the Money Guy framework (emergency fund, debt, tax-advantaged accounts) before opportunistic moves.
Let Tax Brackets Drive Roth Timing
- For Roth conversions, let your tax bracket drive timing and prefer fourth-quarter conversions once you know annual income.
- Consider accelerating conversions during market pullbacks, but don't overcomplicate small amounts.
Use Bear Markets As Opportunistic Moments
- Treat bear-market drops as 'bonus category' opportunities to accelerate Roth conversions and DCA contributions.
- When the market falls 20%, consider accelerating monthly investments for each additional 5% drop.
