Nick, how are you, bud? Nick: Pretty good, pretty good. Happy that we've worked our way into football season and we're starting to get some tease of cooler weather. I'm excited about that. Marc : Yeah. Very good. John my friend, what's happening in your neck of the woods? You doing all right? How's the little ones? John: Good. Little ones are good. They're seven and four. So they keep getting older and a little bit more- Marc : Weird how that happens, right? John: I know. Personality's definitely coming out I'll say. My kids are completely different and we're like, "How did this happen?" One is very reserved and shy and the other one's a complete maniac, but they're great. Marc : Yeah. It's like they look at each other as they're going through things and the stuff that we don't see as parents and they're like, "I'm going to be the opposite of this person," or whatever the case is.

So you'll see what I mean here with this first one. The question might be, how much are these tax deferred savings eventually going to cost me in taxes? And so you can kind of see where I'm going with this. If you're pumping away into the 401k 'cause you've been told that's the thing to do for 40 years, you kind of forget that eventually you know it, but you forget, eventually Uncle Sam's going, "Hey. Where's mine?" Right? So how much is it going to cost us? Nick: Yeah. I would say that's definitely a topic that we talk about quite a bit, especially with the required minimum distribution age getting pushed back. Some clients that have allocated a large portion of their retirement funds to pre-tax accounts and then maybe have their ...
