re: Do you fear the potential future implications of saving a sizable nest egg?

quote:
I fully believe that at some point between now and my retirement the gov't will pass some sort of phase out of tax benefits on retirement accounts and begin taxing (for instance) Roth accounts above a certain threshold. The Just and Fair Taxation on One Percenter Gold-Plated Retirement Accounts Act of 2031. It's essentially a demographic & financial inevitability.

this is pretty much my opinion. its coming. this is why the debate between roth and 401k is silly. They are going to tax distributions at some point.

But there will always be a way to avoid taxes. The trick is to get rich enough to be able to pay someone to help you avoid them. I am not there yet, but I will be before this point IMHO.
