Your probably right, which is what I have been doing. Got me curious though on what percentages are where, as far as investment accounts go. Currently I'm 41% roth/ 16% trad ira/ 43% taxable accs. Total cash combined in the accs currently is high @ 22% and looking for a home. I've raised the cash levels in the last month or so. I thought I read that one of the senators is pushing to eliminate inherited ira's being stretched over the recipients lifetime. Forcing them to withdraw all funds in a 5 year max time frame. That wouldn't be good for my niece and nephew, it is something to keep our eyes on. In a taxable account they'd get the step up. I have been doing partial conversions on top of contributions into the roth. Just thinking out loud. There are way to many unknowns out there right now for my comfort level.
