Who is this for?

People planning toward or through retirement who hold (or expect to hold) money in more than one account type and want to see how tax-aware placement and withdrawal sequencing can change outcomes: without changing which investments they chose. These strategies work best as long-term planning tools: tax savings from better location and sequencing are often modest in a single year, but they compound when the same logic repeats over many contribution and withdrawal years. Short horizons leave less time for that compounding (and less room for a multi-year plan of moves) to matter.
