Should you consider a Roth conversion for your retirement?
Podcasts > My Money Is Safe with Greg Elie
Saturday, May 2, 2026
In this episode of "My Money Is Safe," hosts Greg and Patty discuss Roth conversions and advanced life insurance strategies as powerful retirement and legacy tools. They explain converting traditional IRA funds (e.g., $100k annually) to Roth accounts, paying taxes upfront, and using vehicles that can offset costs with ~20%+ growth for tax-free access later. They then highlight the PSLIP (Properly Structured Life Insurance Plan) as a "Roth on steroids," offering immediate leveraged death benefits (often $1M–$3M+ from smaller premiums), tax-free loans/withdrawals, and living benefits for long-term care or terminal illness—illustrated by Greg's personal story of accessing six figures tax-free for his wife's cancer treatment after minimal premiums. For qualifying clients (especially under 65), they describe a premium-financed "3-to-1 match" strategy where client contributions are leveraged with bank loans (collateralized by the policy) for exponential growth and protection. The pair emphasize customizing combinations of these approaches based on health and goals, urging listeners to call 1-800-297-5755 or visit MyMoneyIsSafe.com.
