DID YOU KNOW…

if you have all or most of your money tied up into a 401k waiting to be taxed, after retirement, (or any other government sanctioned— or as David affectionately calls it, tax postponement — retirement plan) all of those funds WILL be subject to taxation at unknown amount? The thinking goes that you will always be in a lower tax-bracket in retirement. However, we don’t know what the tax rates will be in the future. Take a look at USDebtClock.org. Where do you think taxes are headed? Consider this, the government is borrowing over $40,000 per second more than they take in tax revenues and approaching 20 trillion in debt (Not including unfunded liabilities). Take a look at the History of tax rates in the U.S. Below. As you can see, they are historically low right now.
