Client Had $750K All in a 401k — And She Broke Every Roth Conversion Rule

At 63, this client had $750K — all in a traditional 401k. She was still working. And she started doing Roth conversions anyway. By the time she retired at 67 and through her early retirement years, she had done six conversions. She didn't follow the conventional playbook. She followed her own goal.
