E56: Mastering Retirement: Strategies for Financial Freedom - w/ David McKnight

David McKnight, author of The Power of Zero, explains how to protect your retirement from rising taxes by strategically shifting to tax-free income sources.

Guest bio: David McKnight is a bestselling author and financial advisor known for The Power of Zero and Tax-Free Income for Life. His work focuses on helping Americans avoid the financial pitfalls of rising taxes in retirement by transitioning from tax-deferred to tax-free accounts. His book has been adapted into a documentary, and he trains advisors nationwide in tax-efficient retirement strategies.

Topics discussed:

  • Why tax-deferred accounts (401(k), IRA) may be a trap
  • The concept of the 0% tax bracket and how to reach it
  • Roth IRAs, Roth 401(k)s, and Roth conversions
  • Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policies and annuities
  • Social Security taxation and provisional income
  • Retirement mistakes, tax planning, and longevity risk
  • Puerto Rico Act 60 and global retirement strategies
  • Critiques of financial influencers like Dave Ramsey

3 best quotes:

  • “Going into a 401(k) is like going into business with the IRS—every year they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they keep.”
  • “Two times zero is still zero—that’s why the 0% tax bracket is the safest place to be in a rising tax environment.”
  • “You can’t plan for retirement if you don’t know how much of your money is really yours.”
