    Great video! Will this be a problem with a ROTH 401K?

      Not an issue with a Roth because distributions from the Roth are tax free.

    I'm expecting my 401A to become a tax bomb.
    It was an alternative to a pension from my employer I jumped on it.
    I put in 4% they put in 13% started in my late 20's. Now I'm 40. I also have roth investments setup.
    By the time I am forced to take distributions it would kick me into the highest tax bracket. For that reason I primary investment outside of that account. Roth IRA and a brokerage account.
    I'll try to roll money out of that 401A to minimize taxes.

    I have a few brokerage Accounts with earning Qualified Dividends each year and a Roth IRA where i max out my contribution every year(for the past few years).
    I do not have a 401k yet or plan to have one. So no RMDs for me!
    Wouldn't my plan also be tax efferent, compared to having an IRA/401k and having to worry about RMDs later in life?

      You would still want to make sure you are taking advantage of other tax planning strategies. Dividends, even qualified dividends, are still taxed at a high rate. The good news is that you aren't trying to build wealth inside a vehicle like a 401k or traditional IRA.
