Healthcare costs shouldn't stop you from retiring early, especially when strategic planning can reduce those expenses from $1,000+ to as little as $50 per month. We explore how proper account structure and withdrawal strategies can save you tens of thousands in healthcare premiums during the critical pre-Medicare years.
• “Superhero accounts” (brokerage/taxable accounts) offer tremendous flexibility for controlling taxable income
• Capital gains from brokerage accounts are taxed more favorably than IRA withdrawals
• Strategic income planning can qualify you for ACA subsidies, potentially saving $70,000+ over five years
• Tax gain harvesting at 0% capital gains rate provides additional opportunities
• Balance healthcare optimization with other goals like Roth conversions
• Most valuable for those within 5 years of Retirement
