Rely on math and tax guidance instead of sales-driven framing. Understand that tax-free structures like Roths can face future policy shifts. Plan with awareness that political changes may affect long-term assumptions. Run conversion numbers independently of any annuity recommendation. Evaluate tax impact, break-even timing, and personal comfort before acting. Watch for bonuses, churning, and pressure to “flip” existing annuities. Focus on guarantees, documentation, and advice from qualified tax professionals. &amp;nbsp; &quot;You should never do a Roth conversion without talking to a Certified Financial Planner, a CPA, or tax lawyer.
