The “Backdoor Roth” might sound complicated - or even questionable - but it’s completely legal and incredibly powerful. In this episode, Scott demystifies how high-income earners can legally build tax-free retirement income using a simple, repeatable strategy. He explains income limits, the pro rata rule, and why small annual contributions can quietly grow into seven figures over time. If you’ve outgrown Roth contribution limits but still want tax-free growth, this is low-hanging fruit you don’t want to ignore.
