Imagine entering retirement with a portion of your savings shielded from future income tax rate increases.

That’s one of the potential advantages of a Roth IRA conversion.

If you hold a 401(k), Traditional IRA, or SEP-IRA from a past employer, those assets will eventually be subject to ordinary income tax upon withdrawal. A Roth conversion allows you to pay taxes on those converted funds today—enabling qualified future withdrawals to potentially be tax-free in retirement provided applicable holding period and distribution rules are satisfied.

Why explore this strategy:

~ Tax Free Growth: Pay income taxes at today's rates to secure tax-free growth later, a particularly useful strategy if you anticipate being in a higher bracket in retirement. For others, converting may make less sense depending on current versus expected future rates.

~ Greater Predictability: Gain greater predictability over your future retirement budget without worrying about how tax law changes might impact qualified Roth distributions.

Because conversions trigger immediate taxable income and are subject to specific rules (like the 5-year holding period), timing and ex*****on are critical.

Curious if a Roth conversion aligns with your financial plan? Read our latest blog that breaks down how the strategy can work.

Take 2 Minutes to See If Your Personal Finances are on Track

When you're managing a demanding career or business, sometimes paying attention to your personal financial strategy is challenging. Asking yourself these three questions is a great place to start getting back on track with your personal financial goals.

Is your personal net worth keeping pace with your career growth?
Convert raises, bonuses, and equity awards into liquid personal wealth.

Does your investment risk match your current life stage?
Markets and personal timelines change. A portfolio designed three years ago may now be exposing you to unnecessary volatility.

Are your assets optimized across all tax buckets?
Uncoordinated employer plans, IRAs, and taxable accounts can lead to missed growth opportunities and unnecessary tax drag.

The right answers depend on your individual goals, timeline, and tax situation. These questions are a starting point, not a prescription.

If it’s been a while since your portfolio had a comprehensive checkup, we’re here to help you cut through the complexity.

Give us a call, we’d love to speak to you over the phone, or in person at our Marietta, GA office.

Maxing out a pre-tax 401(k) lowers your tax bill today—but it can trigger a surprisingly high tax bill when you start taking withdrawals later.

Something to Consider: Make strategic Roth conversions during your lower-income transition years.

By paying taxes on smaller portions of your savings early, you build a pool of tax-free money to draw from in retirement, keeping your future income more flexible and your tax bill more predictable.

Whether this makes sense depends on your individual income, tax situation, and retirement timeline - a tax professional or financial adviser can help you evaluate if this approach fits your plan.

How are you balancing tax savings today with flexibility down the road?

If you would like a second set of eyes on your future tax strategy, reach out to our team through our website or give us a call. Our team at Marietta Wealth is always here to help.

For many high-earning professionals, the biggest hurdle to mapping out their financial future isn't a lack of money—it's a lack of understanding.

When terms like asset allocation, capital gains, or net worth feel confusing, it’s easy to put financial planning on the back burner. But sitting on the sidelines of your own wealth carries a real cost:

~ Passive Decisions: Nodding along to financial concepts you don't fully get, rather than shaping decisions to fit your life goals.

~ Missed Opportunities: Hesitating to make important financial moves simply because you aren't sure how the pieces fit together.

~ Lack of Control: Feeling like a spectator in your own financial life instead of the primary decision-maker.

Being an active participant in your future doesn't mean becoming a full-time market analyst or managing your own stock portfolio. It starts with understanding the foundational concepts well enough to speak with confidence about where your money is going.

We put together a straightforward listing of common financial terms to assist you in taking charge of your future.

Decades of investments scattered across 6 accounts + high tax bills. Here’s how we made sense of it.

When decades of statements blanket your table, where do you actually start?
A typical situation we often see is a pre-retiree—5 years out from retirement—coming to us with a binder full of scattered statements, old mutual funds, and long-forgotten accounts.

The goals?
~ Reduce risk as retirement nears
~ Build a future income plan
~ Cut an ever-growing tax bill

The breakthrough?

A donor-advised fund. By transferring appreciated shares instead of writing checks, it supports the charities a client loves while avoiding a heavy capital-gains hit—one strategy that may offer both philanthropic and tax planning benefits for clients with the right circumstances, including appreciated assets, charitable intent, and the ability to itemize deductions.

The road to retirement shouldn't be blocked by decades of account clutter. If your account pile is growing faster than your confidence, it might be time for a second set of eyes. If so click the link to contact our team, we bring clarity to the table: https://www.mariettawealth.com/contact-us/

Where is your future travel budget hiding? ✈️

Have you ever looked at your income on paper and wondered why your savings isn’t growing at the same pace? You likely don’t have a math problem—you have a budget leak.

Our Financial Advisor, Lisa Garris, recently shared her thoughts on an informative piece from Clark.com sharing the 5 most common budget leaks. Small, invisible costs like subscriptions, food delivery fees, and micro-transactions can quietly drain thousands of dollars every year without you realizing it.

As Lisa points out, plugging these leaks isn’t about living a life of restriction or cutting out every small joy. It’s about intentionality redirecting money into the things you actually care about, whether that’s taking that dream trip, funding a major goal, or building wealth for the future.

Reclaiming monthly cash flow is step one. Step two is turning that newly freed-up money into a structured plan for your future. At Marietta Wealth, we help align your everyday habits with your long-term goals so you have the ability to enjoy today while planning for tomorrow.

True or False: Your house is an asset. 🏠

The answer isn't as straightforward as it seems.

We often talk to high-net-worth families who have incredible financial momentum, but realize they’re uncertain of some of the foundational definitions of wealth management.

The good news: You don't need a degree in finance to build wealth—but you do need clarity to preserve and grow it.

In this video, Pierre dives into a question we get from prospective clients all the time: What is considered a "Household Asset"?

If you've ever felt like you're guessing at the fundamentals, this 1-minute video is for you.
