From the mysterious-sounding Mega Backdoor Roth to the triple-tax-advantaged HSA, they’re covering the heavy hitters. Ever heard of tax-free municipal bonds? What about using life insurance to offset taxes for your heirs? And yes, they even talk about donor-advised funds (don’t worry, it’s more interesting than it sounds).
