      It has nothing to do with age. You want to convert when your tax bracket is lower.

      For most people on a FI path, that would be the years between retirement and SS and RMDs.

      Your circumstances may vary- eg pensions, rental income etc

        It usually makes sense to prioritize Roth conversions in early retirement, not before. Or at least in lower-income years.

        The correct answer is “it depends.”

          Yes but it’s probably not an either or but a both thing. At a young age and again after leaving work.

          For those who found fire early enough to do what you describe.
