Ben hosted his annual Action Team Super Bowl fundraiser to raise money and collect much-needed items for the rescue Ben adopted their dog from — JR’s Pups n Stuff.

One of Phil’s favorite conversations with clients is about income tax efficiency and retirement income distribution planning. It’s not just about how much you’ve saved—it’s about how you take income in a way that supports your lifestyle while being mindful of taxes.

You’re in control of how much you contribute (within IRS limits), how your money is invested, and where the account is held. Plus, because IRAs aren’t tied to an employer, they move with you throughout your career—making them a powerful tool for long-term retirement planning.
For disclosure information, see thrivent.com/social While Thrivent does not provide specific legal or tax advice, we can partner with you and your tax professional or attorney. State tax rules may differ from federal rules governing the tax treatment of Roth IRAs and there may be conflicts between federal and state tax treatment of IRA conversions. Consult your tax professional for your state's tax rules. If requested, a licensed insurance agent/producer may contact you and financial solutions, including insurance, may be solicited.
