  2. Its complicated. At first everyone thought it was a no-brainer. Then they crunched the numbers and found it didn't make any difference in a lot of instances. Finally, financial planners started looking at all the little nuances where it can negatively affect people - increase Medicare premiums etc.
    So I think today we are at the point where we understand that it can be a fairly complex analysis.
    To provide additional entertainment there are those seeking, as always, to exploit the financially illiterate - do a Roth conversion and put it into an annuity etc.
