Most people think about taxes one stressful season at a time, but that mindset can cost you opportunities. Especially if you're in the military, planning for early retirement, or navigating years when your income swings up and down. When you don't understand how the rules work across your whole financial life, it's easy to miss out on the strategies designed to help you keep more of what you earn.
In this episode, tax expert and financial planner Sean Mullaney breaks down the difference between annual tax prep and true lifetime tax planning. We talk about how early retirement opens unexpected tax advantages, why "the compelling three" savings tactics matter, where Roth conversions actually make sense, and when they don't. Also, how military-specific situations like pensions and combat-zone income change the equation.
