Are you using the wrong retirement withdrawal strategy? Sequential drawdown—draining one account before touching the next—is the most common approach to early retirement, but it could be costing you tens of thousands in unnecessary taxes.

In this episode of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, hosts Mindy Jensen and Scott Trench sit down with Enrolled Agent Mark to break down tax-efficient withdrawal strategies that maximize your retirement savings. Discover blended drawdown strategies and cyclical drawdown methods that optimize which accounts you tap first—Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, taxable brokerage, HSA—to minimize your lifetime tax burden.

This episode covers:

  • Sequential vs. blended vs. cyclical retirement drawdown strategies

  • How to optimize withdrawal order from retirement accounts (401k, IRA, Roth, taxable accounts)

  • Tax-efficient retirement planning for early retirees and FIRE followers

  • How to leverage today's historically low tax rates before they expire

  • Healthcare costs in early retirement (ACA subsidies, Medicare planning)

  • Asset protection and estate planning considerations

  • Roth conversion strategies during low-income years

  • How to avoid costly tax mistakes in the decumulation phase

Whether you're planning for financial independence, already retired early, or managing multiple retirement accounts, this tax optimization masterclass will help you keep more of your money and make your nest egg last longer.
