How an early retiree pays for the years between leaving work and 59 1/2, one year at a time, under three strategies: taxable first with a Roth conversion ladder, a 72(t) series on a carved-off IRA, or a blend. Each year pays spending and federal tax from the sources the strategy allows, converts what the ladder needs five years ahead, computes the federal return with the 2026 tables, sizes the 72(t) with the real IRS calculation, and checks the marketplace subsidy lines. Returns all three strategies unless one is chosen.
