Jesse returns for the 10th "Ask Me Anything" episode to tackle three listener questions that cut to the core of modern wealth planning. He opens with a deep dive into direct indexing, separating substance from sales pitch. While advocates tout it as the next evolution of indexing—combining personalization and tax-loss harvesting—Jesse explains why, for most investors, the extra complexity, cost, and tracking error outweigh the modest tax advantages, making low-cost ETFs the better long-term choice. Next, he answers a question from a listener whose retirement timeline doesn't align with their spouse's, exploring how couples can navigate income changes, healthcare coverage, and tax strategy when one partner stops working years before the other. He breaks down the pros and cons of filing jointly versus separately, showing why joint filing almost always leads to lower overall taxes and greater flexibility. Finally, Jesse delivers a masterclass on decumulation—the art and order of withdrawing money in retirement. From spending taxable assets first to preserving Roth and HSA accounts for last, he maps out how smart sequencing, Roth conversions, and bracket management can extend portfolio life, minimize taxes, and keep retirees financially steady through every stage of the journey. Key Takeaways:• Direct indexing isn't revolutionary for most investors—it's often an overhyped, higher-cost alternative to low-cost ETFs with limited long-term benefits. • Married filing jointly is almost always the better tax choice, offering lower overall tax rates, higher standard deductions, and broader eligibility for credits. • Before changing filing status, couples should test both scenarios using online 1040 tax calculators to see the real impact on their total tax bill. • Guardrail and Monte Carlo strategies help retirees adjust withdrawal rates dynamically based on market performance, rather than using a rigid 4% rule. • HSAs can be used as stealth retirement accounts, reimbursing decades-old medical expenses tax-free or even acting as traditional IRAs after age 65. • The key to successful retirement planning is flexibility—balancing tax efficiency, market uncertainty, and personal goals to ensure sustainable income for decades.

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we reset the conversation around RSUs—restricted stock units—and bring it back to the basics while adding context relevant to 2025. We start by defining what RSUs are: a form of equity compensation that incentivizes employees to remain at a company and contribute to its long-term success. These units don't hold any value until they vest, which typically happens over a period of years. Amy compares this to being promised jelly beans in the future—enticing but only valuable once they're actually in your hands.We walk through vesting schedules, with one-year cliffs and subsequent payouts over several years being the norm. The concept of “golden handcuffs” comes into play, where employees lose unvested RSUs if they leave a company, adding a layer of retention-driven strategy from employers. We also dig into the tax implications, emphasizing that there's no tax when RSUs are granted—but they are taxed as ordinary income once they vest. Many people mistakenly assume the company's withholding covers the full tax liability, but that's often not the case, especially for high earners.The conversation gets technical but clear, explaining how the timing of selling RSUs affects how gains are taxed—short-term gains being taxed as ordinary income and long-term gains benefitting from lower capital gains rates. We debunk the myth of “double taxation” with a simple timeline that separates the grant date, vesting date, and eventual sale date, highlighting how only the gain beyond vesting is taxed again.We then explore the decision of whether to hold or sell RSUs. It depends on individual circumstances, but key factors include overall exposure to the company through salary, stock, and other equity compensation. Concentration risk becomes a big deal, especially if both partners in a household have RSUs at the same company.Common mistakes include underestimating tax obligations, overconcentration in employer stock, and failing to plan for tax bracket changes due to RSU income. On the opportunity side, we point to strategic uses of appreciated RSUs—such as charitable donations and goal-based selling. With RSUs becoming more common outside of tech and market volatility remaining high, understanding your vesting schedule and strategy has never been more important.We wrap up by encouraging listeners to treat RSUs as part of a broader financial plan, not just as a bonus or windfall. Intentionality is key, and professional planning can help manage risk and make the most of these powerful compensation tools.00:00 – Intro & RSU Basics01:23 – What Are RSUs and Why Do Companies Offer Them?02:43 – Vesting Schedules Explained04:11 – Tax Implications at Vesting07:29 – Capital Gains on RSUs09:10 – Myth Busting: Are RSUs Double-Taxed?10:00 – Should You Hold or Sell RSUs?11:12 – Risk Exposure and Concentration13:20 – Common Mistakes with RSUs14:06 – RSU Opportunities and Strategic Planning14:52 – Why RSUs Matter in 202515:39 – Final Takeaways on RSU Strategy16:31 – How to Contact Thimbleberry Financial To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.
