Divorce the IRS
Welcome to Divorce the IRS, the Retirement Income Planning Podcast—built for people who want to pay the least amount of taxes possible and create retirement income that actually lasts. Inspired by Jimmy Miller’s bestselling book Divorce, the IRS, this show takes you behind the scenes of the tax rules, retirement strategies, and planning decisions that can quietly determine how much of your money you keep.
The truth is, taxes aren’t just “something you deal with later.” The U.S. tax code is massive, confusing by design, and full of traps that can hit hardest right when you need your money most. From 401(k)s and IRAs to Social Security and Medicare, many common “smart moves” can turn into expensive surprises—like required minimum distributions, Medicare surcharges, the widow’s penalty, and other retirement tax time bombs most people don’t see coming until it’s too late.
With 20+ years of experience as a global wealth manager, Jimmy breaks these topics down in a clear, practical way—so you can plan proactively, avoid unnecessary taxes, and build a retirement where your delayed gratification finally pays off. Subscribe so you never miss an episode, and remember: this podcast is for general education only and isn’t legal, tax, or investment advice—always consult a qualified professional for guidance specific to your situation.
