Your 401(k) or IRA Is a
Ticking Time Bomb

Most people with large IRAs or 401(k)s don't realize they're sitting on a growing tax liability — one that compounds every year they wait. This book exposes the hidden traps inside traditional retirement accounts: RMDs that balloon your tax bracket, IRMAA surcharges that spike your Medicare costs, the widow's penalty that blindsides surviving spouses, and the heir tax burden most families never see coming.

When you book, you'll tell us where to ship it. Show up for your initial call and David will mail you a copy — no strings attached, no obligation to do anything further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Retirement MRI really free?

Yes. The MRI and the follow-up review are complimentary, with no obligation to do anything afterward.

How long does it take?

The intro call is 15–20 minutes. After we run your MRI, we schedule a follow-up session to walk through the results together.

How do I get the book?

When you pick your appointment time, you'll be asked where to ship it. After your initial call, David mails you a copy.

Will I be pressured to buy something?

No. The goal is to give you a clear picture of your risks and options. What you do next is entirely your decision.

Why book by December 15th?

Roth conversions count toward the tax year in which they're completed. If a conversion makes sense for 2026, it has to be done by December 31st — and modeling it, deciding, and processing it with your custodian takes time. Booking by December 15th keeps that window open.
