Should You Roth? Making the Right Call at the Right Time

Retire Smarter with Kevin Kroskey, CFP® & Tyler Emrick, CFA® CFP®

Not all Roth dollars are created equal—especially during times of market volatility.

In this episode, Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, unpacks when Roth contributions, conversions, or pretax savings make the most sense, and how recent market declines may present timely Roth conversion opportunities.

Whether you're retiring early or just looking for more tax-efficient growth, this episode offers practical guidance for getting Roth right.
