    Bulking up my savings so I can invest on the lows. I’m also an emotional saver who requires a large emergency fund. This is the first time I have ever heard a financial advisor say that having a substantial savings hedges panicking selling on lows and selling for lifestyle changes. Great stuff!!! Keeping a savings frees you up for an abundance mindset and not a scarcity mindset.

    OK Paula, at the 1:16:27 mark you state that a Roth IRA will come out ahead of a traditional IRA if the same amount is invested. What you fail to take into account is the opportunity cost/investment of the upfront tax that is paid for the Roth IRA amount. In the example cited in the podcast, if you invest $5K under either scenario, at the 20% tax bracket, you still have to account for the $1K not paid in taxes and which also grows with tax only on the earnings. Roth IRA withdrawals before 591/2 also trigger taxes and penalties on the earnings. The higher the tax rate, the higher the up front tax deduction, the better the traditional IRA .

    Roth is a better retirement vehicle if your tax rate at retirement will be higher than the tax rate during the working years. Given the current federal deficits, higher taxes in the future is a likely possibility. It is wise to prepare. If taxes are not higher, I like the flexibility of the Roth.

    • @JimmyHuynhdesign
      @JimmyHuynhdesign 5 років тому

      Correct! I choose a Roth for the security of knowing how much tax I am paying now. Maybe more or less, but at least the tax is locked in and paid for. Another reason is the predictability of my money. I know that all that money is mine and I dont need to factor in taxes when I eventually start withdrawing. Also, I can afford to pay the tax now and not have it bother me since i'm still young and have plenty of time to make more money.

I married an attorney who makes a solid 6 figure salary. That means we can both retire sooner.

    I like putting money in both Roth and pre-tax accounts in general. As an informed investor, I want to diversify my taxes for the unknown future tax rate that might be different from my current tax rate, either because I get richer (good for me) or the tax law changes. Note that even if your net worth increases in the future, as long as your spending/withdrawal is not more than your current income, you might end up paying less tax because you'll be in a lower tax bracket.

    Regarding the traditional vs roth, I think roth is a better choice when withdrawals are considered. In traditional one has to withdraw more to pay the taxes owed vs roth one can withdraw the amount needed. In case of roth more money will be preserved in the retirement account during withdrawal and it can keep growing with compounding effect. Only exception to this would be one is withdrawing the amount upto standard deduction and not paying any taxes. Given that I also agree with Joshua's point that contributions to roth means less money available to you currently and that could lead to stiffer lifestyle choices.

  • @timstrand2523
    @timstrand2523 6 років тому

    @1:04 when running through a Roth vs traditional scenario why do you make the assumption that taxes 40 years from now will be the same? I know you can't determine what they will be, but to assume they will be flat seems unlikely. With a smaller percentage of the population in the workforce it would seem likely down the road that taxes increase. So any percentage that you tick taxes up over time disadvantages the traditional account, giving in my opinion an edge to the Roth.

  • @jonm80
    @jonm80 4 роки тому +2

    Regarding the ROTH IRA, wouldn't it be better to go the ROTH IRA route rather than a traditional as this would have a more 'fixed' tax rate? Who knows what the tax rate will be like in 30-40 years. The rate might change as you continue to invest, but at least your whole retirement wouldn't be taxed at that later rate.

  • @jting10777
    @jting10777 7 років тому +2

    Not everyone can contribute to a tax deductible traditional IRA due to stricter income limits so contributions to a backdoor Roth IRA is the only option after maxing out the 401k contribution limit. Further Roth IRA does not have a minimum distribution limit after turning 70 years old so that the investment can grow tax free forever until death or till it gets passed down. It's also uncertain whether income tax rate will be higher or lower in the future but given the historical trend it's likely to be higher so that Roth IRA would be a safer bet to make sure there are no unexpected reduction of avalible income in retirement.

  • @BFArch0n
    @BFArch0n 4 роки тому

    The difference with the roth is that it doesnt matter what your finances look like when you retire, you pay zero tax. It will never be more than the 20 % example you gave. It's more flexible.

  • @jorgeferreiro9783
    @jorgeferreiro9783 6 років тому

    The downside of contributing to a 401k is that the money is taxed as income at age 70 when RMDs are taken out. In an index fund in a conventional account the tax drag is minimal (0.5% per year) and you don't have to take a RMD and therefore can pay lower taxes.

    You can take money out from IRA by using the 72T distribution without the 10% penalty. I still contribute to the 401k so company match while taking out from IRA on the other side. This way you can balance what to take out versus what you put in and not 401k rich and cash poor.

    All you need is a 5 year buffer of savings/investments to access your 401k penalty free.
    Better to max out your ROTH IRA, Roth 401k to get a buffer of contributions so you can crack your regular 401k.
    And did we factor in tax on dividends on a taxable account? So are we saying that it is better to invest in a taxable account at the same initial cost of a Roth with additional tax added on?

    The story about the couple with 100k in checking is just stupid. Money management is based on numbers and data more than feelings. Earning little to no interest is foolish. The correct advice is to compromise for both and split the difference and leave 50k in and invest the other 50k.

IF YOU ARE 25 AND IN THE 12 PERCENT BRACET THEN YOU MAY OWN A BUISNESS OR BECOME A DOCTOR AT AGE 35 OR 40 AND BE IN A MUHC HIGHER TAX BRACET, THERFORE PAYING TAXES NOW WOULD SAVE YOU MONEY.

  • @28jonmark
    @28jonmark 7 років тому +1

    So i just listened to this and I am baffled by one particular point about 55 minutes to an hour in. There is the discussion about Roth vs. Traditional. I do not understand why Joshua Sheats would say that the Roth can have more money put into it because you 'pay taxes on that money from a different source'. Really? You think that is not giving the Roth calculation an unfair, supposed advantage? Can someone help me understand how you can put more into the Roth by paying the taxes on that money from another source? I always believed you could put more into a traditional because you didn't have to pay taxes on those dollars.
    Secondly, while I know the benefits of the Roth allow for no RMDs if you don’t need them as well as allowing you flexibility in withdrawing contributions without tax or penalty, how can he say they are equal in retirement given a pre and post tax rate being the same? You put in the contributions avoiding your highest marginal tax rate and you get to pull out the traditional at an average/effective tax rate which ALWAYS will be less. Why is that point not made?
    I personally advocate for having 50-50 between the two accounts or perhaps 60-40. Thanks for helping me understand the nuances perhaps that he is trying to make.

  • @philistineau
    @philistineau 4 роки тому

    God. This is some terrible advice. You could do Roth conversions once you retire. By definition 96% of people will not be in the top 4%. The business tax stuff is all Rich Dad Poor Dad nonsense. The power to not pay tax on earnings is huge. In one you pay $1000 in tax, the other $30,000+. The percentage is the same BUT THE COST IS WIDELY DIFFERENT. If you can afford the $1,000 tax up front, you gain $30,000 tax free at retirement. That is a huge benefit especially if you are saving and will have taxable income.

    This interview was painful to listen to. I got about 38 minutes in an had to stop. The host calling the guest's answers 'nuanced' was a polite way of saying that he didn't make any affrimative statements. His voice kept droning on and on but he wasn't actually saying anything. Basically, he leaves it up to you to decide for yourself what to do because after all, he doesn't know your personal situation. Non advice at it's best.

      You just cannot tolerate someone not speaking in ABSOLUTES. You want dogma to blindly follow. You do not want to have to interpret and apply principles for yourself. There are plenty of dogmatic retire early people out there.Go listen to that and follow their rules if that reassures you.

    This guy is dishonest. "Recognize you're going to have far more money than you need. Make sure you're prepared for it." This is true for almost no one. This was a complete waste of time! At least you got a comment out of it and a thumbs down.
