I did not realize years ago how skewed these tax advantaged plans are against transferring wealth to the next generation. They are fantastic tools for building wealth. They are horrible at transferring wealth. I am guessing many others did not know that side of these plans when they first started investing in them either.
If a person's goal is to transfer wealth to their children or grandchildren upon their own death, then they need to plan ahead to make the investment changes necessary to allow this to happen. Special rules apply to the inheritance of these tax advantaged plans which apparently (I am still learning) prevents their inclusion with the currently large estate tax exclusion.
If a person doesn't have heirs, or doesn't feel a need to maximize the estate their heirs will receive, then the large taxable RMD withdrawals and immense tax bite on the remainder is not a concern.
I know people in both camps and this is purely a personal decision, whatever is correct for them.
