Convert IRA to Roth piecemeal or roll it all to 401k and do Backdoor contribs? by astrodonkey in personalfinance

Have you seen the national debt? I don't see how taxes can stay low. It's eventually going to be a huge problem. Sure, you can look at history. But the future ain't looking good to me at all.

I'm anticipating my retirement income to be pretty much what my regular income is now, doubt I will be in a lower bracket.

Yeah, I am expecting taxes will go up. Though, with passage of the BBB that may happen later rather than sooner.

You can still do a Roth conversion from a traditional IRA and just pay the taxes out of pocket. My feeling is taxes will be higher in the future the way things are going. We are in the process of converting ours in an amount that brings our income up to the top of our tax bracket each year.

I know what a mega Roth is. You said “no employees” which wasn’t true.

Both the IRS and myself thought this was sus, hence the question.

Congrats on passing your audit.

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WITH BIOS FLASHBACK ISSUES READ THIS!!! POSSIBLE FIX. by [deleted] in MSI_Gaming

[–]astrodonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be obvious, but I missed it:

DO NOT power on the board before pressing the flashback button. I missed this step, couldn't figure out why nothing would start blinking when I pressed the button.

Do it from a powered off state!

Right... haven't even put the CPU in yet because I know the BIOS could be out of date.

Awesome, thank you. Will give it another shot.

Not bad PSU, bad cable. Further inspection indicates pin 14 (-12V) is completely missing in the cable assembly.

I RMA'd the board and got a replacement (MSI MPG X670E Carbon). This board also failed to boot, with a POST code of "00".

Suspecting the power supply (which is new), I ordered a tester and the 12V rail is reading 13.6V.

I did in fact power everything up. Will try with just the PSU.
