3-9-26 IRA's - The Ticking Tax Bomb

The Real Investment Show Podcast

Release Date: 03/09/2026

Is your IRA a ticking tax time bomb? 
Most retirement savers don't realize that every dollar sitting in a traditional IRA will eventually be taxed — and you may have little say over when, how much, or at what rate. 

Danny Ratliff & Sarah Buenger break down the three critical dimensions of IRA tax planning: a proactive multi-year conversion strategy, the risks of doing nothing, and legacy planning considerations that could determine how much your heirs actually keep.

Hosted by RIA Advisors Senior Investment Advisor, Danny Ratliff, CFP, w Senior Investment Advisor, Sarah Buenger, CFP 
Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer
