Tax Increases coming up

The Roth IRA was some of the best legislation ever created in the USA. Murray is correct, as long as you are at least 59 1/2 when you start your withdrawals, and you have had a funded Roth for at least 5 years, it is completely free of taxes.
What many do NOT know about, and I did a lot of research on it, is that your 5 year waiting period starts on the day you funded ANY Roth IRA! I opened one in the mid-90's, so the 5 year clock started that year. In my current Roth just yesterday I requested a distribution via an ACH, easy and quick and in my wallet free of taxes.
I still have a couple other Futures accounts, but in time I will quite likely fade them out. In my present Roth I can trade Futures, options on Futures, other options, stocks, ETF products. Easily one of the best moves I ever made!
Country Boy and others, I share your concerns about the direction of the country and tax structures etc. I travelled to and lived in communist/authoritarian countries long ago as part of my research and studies, not the political system I want to live under here! Murray, your state of TN is indeed drawing increasing numbers of those seeking greater freedoms including state tax laws, I know a family that just moved there for that very reason.

My current domicile is in Delaware.
I also owned a building lot in Tennessee (Tellico Village, southwest of Knoxville).
Moving to Delaware was more simple in the short run.
So that's what happened.
And excellent MDs in DE,
I found out, all grandkids LOVE the beach in summer
Screw it.
I just pay the DE tax.

Thanks for the info on Roth IRA Conversion, etc.
I never trusted any of that stuff

This country is turning a new chapter.
Mirrors the fall of Rome.
Same as the morality plays of the Middle Ages.
Anybody with an Internet Connection can follow it real time.
Biblical in scope.
