Traditional vs Roth for 25X expenses

( www.reddit.com )

Traditional vs Roth for 25X expenses I think this is as pretty straightforward question, but I haven’t been able to find a clear answer. Say my annual spending estimate in retirement is X.

What to do with traditional IRA

( www.reddit.com )

What to do with traditional IRA I have a traditional IRA that was originally a 401k rollover to trad IRA 10 years ago when I left a former job.
