Minimum Balance Plan

How many years do you have until retirement? I get it if you have 5 or less you might want to start being more conservative and defer some taxes as well if you think you're going to be in a lower tax bracket in 5 years. You should be able to have the OPTION to do that, but you can't force everyone else to do it too.

Those are your assumptions. Other people feel differently. You are the only one who wants to dictate to others. Also, there’s nothing guaranteed about it.

I am the only one willing to post as a contrarian on this website. Do some looking at other high earner plans and vehicles. There's no guarantees in life, right? There are however proven instruments that will consistently protect principle while "guaranteeing" returns. Why were people on here advocating for annuities or insurance products? Because they are dependable and low/no risk. Would I like to have the option of putting all my money in Ethereum? Sure, but would it be better to put a small amount money in a tax shelter generating income (if the return was 5%) so I could put most of it in Ethereum rather than gift it to the government? Yes it would.

I’ll take it one step further, if the goal of this job is to maximize pay for time worked, do what ever it takes to just barely hang on to the job in order to maximize vacation and sick leave. 19+ years is roughly 400 hours. Drop everything else, stay out of the chief pilot’s office, do something else with your time. This is how you squeeze every drop out of the turnip. If you are worried about excess cash (415c) you’re spending too much of your time working for someone else and not maximizing your worth. Seriously, 400 hours of pay without turning a wheel is the goal.
