Would You Rather Have $1 Million Or $700,000 In Retirement?

Imagine two retirement accounts sitting in front of you. One has $1 million, while the other has $700,000.


Which would you choose?


Most people immediately pick the $1 million account. It seems like the obvious answer. But there's one important detail missing from the comparison, and once you understand it, you may look at those two retirement accounts very differently.


Is the Bigger Retirement Account Always Better?


The size of your retirement account doesn't necessarily tell you the entire story.


That missing detail is at the center of one of the most reasonable objections people have about a Roth conversion, and it's an objection that can keep people from looking more closely at their retirement savings and available options.


Before deciding that the larger account automatically puts you in the better position, it's worth understanding the complete picture.
