Tax问题:Under progressive tax regime (累进税制) more tax-efficient strategy is withdraw from retirement account until the lowest tax bracket have been fully utilized. have been fully utilized. 请问 lowest tax bracket 是什么?如何fully utilized?这个操作原理什么。
累进税率是钱越多税越多
在累进税率下,如果从TDA账户里取钱取得少(例如李老师上课讲的1w),则withdrawal tax也会低,取得越多越高。所以你如果每年要花10w,那1w从TDA取,剩下的从Taxable取,会比较节税
年金:Low interest rate environment: when buying a fixed annuity the investor locks in payments based on current low interest rate, will lock in relatively low payment。不是很理解为啥低利率就会lock relatively low payment?
在低利率环境下不适合fixed annuity。因为fixed annuity,年金以后的payment都是在合同里订死了,那么当前利率低,肯定订的也低,所以不合适。
Variable annuity相反,由于payment是variable的,所以在低利率环境选择variable相对合适。
non-trade-out provision是什么?
【Non-trade-out Privison】的意思是不可置换条款,即以后不可以换成别的产品。
Fixed annuity is not liquid有什么坏处吗?
同第二个问题,fixed annunity每年的payment是一样的,如果将来通胀上升,那么固定的就不合适
