The #1 Roth Conversion Mistake That Costs Retirees
Most people missed the first Roth conversion window. History is offering a rare second chance — but not a long one.
With today's tax rates extended, IRA Millionaires have a brief stretch of historically low brackets left. When it closes, the math changes: higher rates, bigger required distributions, and fewer conversion opportunities each year you wait.
Craig Wear, CFP®, has spent 15+ years helping more than 3,000 families with $1M+ in IRAs plan Roth conversions — helping them avoid a projected $10B+ in lifetime taxes. His new book, Roth Conversion Reset, is the step-by-step playbook:
Lock in today's low rates
Avoid RMD surprises at 73
Protect your spouse from survivor taxes
Keep more for your heirs
The book is free — no credit card, no shipping. The full PDF lands in your inbox in minutes.

🚨 $500 Tickets In This Construction Zone
If you've been driving near Dublin and Marksheffel, heads up: construction crews are still active even though paving wrapped up July 16. Colorado Springs Police have been stepping up enforcement after reports of excessive speeding near workers. Tickets in the area are running $400 to $500 each.
Locals say confusing signage and changing lane patterns have made navigating the area a real headache for nearby businesses and residents alike. Overnight lane striping is scheduled through July 23, so expect some lane shifts. Full Story
