@ironman “This year and next may see quite a few Roth conversions.”
scenario:
i have 80k in self-directed ira money which can be converted to a roth.
i can max current $’s into a roth.
i can also max into a 401k (currently @27% but thinking 33% if BHO gets progressive).
i don’t have enough money to max everything at once considering the 80k would require 22k up front.

any thoughts on how i should be taking advantages of the rules, tax-wise?

Well, I’m somewhat embarrassed, but I have never made it to St. Francisville (several failed attempts including a wife with a terrible hangover). I do rember Fulwar Skipworth and the Republic of West Flordia from 7th grade history. Thanks for education, I will now put this on the research list. Still, this geographical reference seems more relevant to Bob Livingston than David Vitter, other than that Vitter is now more politically relevant than Livingston.

Thanks barry!

I’m with you,

My great-great grandma’s maternal uncle James McElroy owned land down there on Thompson’s creek -he’s listed in an 1820 census. 60 or 80 acres. People’s histories are complicated and unusual. Her grandson, my grandfar, was a personnel director for Sears in Minneapolis at the end of WWII and he unilaterally abolished the two-tier payscale at the Sears plant which previously had paid whites more than blacks for the same job. He almost lost his job over it. He was called down to Chicago and if General Wood hadn’t backed his play- Sears Catalog Stores and Merchant Stores would never have existed.

if you don’t erase the Past, peep have a bad habit of remembering where they came from, and what their Kin stood for, and against.

Audobon, Jefferson Davis, Aaron Burr, the proto-Texans, Beaumarchais’ daughter, Tyler(?). Where do you the West Florida Rebellion was launched? Where did Bowie get his knife. Just a ‘backwater’ now.
