Your 401k and your DGI portfolio?
#11
I just learned about the "rule of 55", and my entire 401k is with my current employer, since I have been there for 27 years. Coincidentally, at age 55, child support ends for sure.

*If* the next 5 years are extremely lucrative - and that's a big if - then it gives me an interesting option.

Ages 50-55: Accumulate!
Age 55: Retire!
Age 55-59.5: Draw down pre-tax 401k to live on while continuing to accumulate in the taxable and ROTH IRA accounts
Age 59.5: Roll ROTH 401k into ROTH IRA. Move this combined ROTH IRA into high dividend payers. Move remaining 401k into standard IRA. Taxable should be 100% DGI at this point as well. Draw dividends from all 3 sources to live on as needed, reinvest the rest.

Mostly a thought exercise at this point, but it's good to have options!
