@shelmuth85@TKopelman Wait, isn’t that supposed to flow into a non-grantor, irrevocable, complex, intentionally defective, discretionary, spendthrift trust?
@MrNQDC Exactly my thought.
Early in my career, I listened to industry veterans talk about how in the 80s they couldn’t sell an 18% 30 year bond to save their life. That story is stuck with me.
If they anticipate the business to ever grow beyond them, I agree that it’s the wrong system.
But for many solo business owners who don’t have the “accountant brain” (a term I’ve heard a number of clients use) it lets them see their runway clearly just by looking at the balances, and allows them to make decisions faster.
I also agree that it can’t be a replacement of understanding the books.
@FinPlan_CPA It primarily depends on the ratio of Roth to pretax, and if they’re expected to drop a bracket in retirement or not.
It tends to learn Roth more often than one would assume.
@zachary_ashburn@Albert_steed If you can get your hands on their Pit Viper collab they did a few years back, that is hands down the best of theirs I’ve ever had.
That bottle turned a few non-whiskey drinkers into whiskey snobs.
