  • The Truth About Having Both a Pension and an IRA
    Jun 30 2026

    If you have both a pension and an IRA, your retirement planning is different than most people realize.

In this video, Joe explains the biggest tax challenges facing retirees with pensions and IRAs, why the 2% Club requires a different strategy, and how Roth conversions may help reduce future taxes.
