    It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time. I retired with about $650k in my 401k.

    Investing in Roth IRA can be a good choice since they are funded with after tax dollars, your contributions can grow tax-free over time. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA in retirement, you won’t have to pay tax on it, which will help you keep more of your hard-earned money. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. Currently working overseas but will return to my home country in the near future. I'm a landlord. I invested in property at the age of 22. Value has soared and renting out. Will live on the rental income I receive and live with my aging parents for the time being. At 60 I can withdraw from my superannuation (401(k)) worth about $1.7m.

      There is more than one type of a Roth: an employer sponsored version (Roth 401k) *and* an individual Roth IRA (that you would open yourself at a brokerage like Vanguard).
      If you and your husband are able, both of you can open an individual Roth, separate from his employer Roth 401k.

    If you want to do a balance approach, always contribute to a 401(k) at least to the match limit. Also, try to contribute to a Roth all (or as much as possible) at the beginning of the year to have as much time as possible to grow.

    In 1998 I changed my new contributions to the new Roth IRA. Now that I am retired, and over 72, I am so happy with my decision. My IRA is smallish, making the RMD also smallish. When I could I did do some Roth conversions too. Uncle Sam is not a partner in my Roth.

    Good one! I used to do 401k and Roth IRA but ever since my company offered the Roth 401k 2 years ago, I have been maxing out both ROTH 401k and Roth IRA. My goal is to have 50/50 pre/post tax when I retire. Just waiting for your future videos on when to invest additional savings for retirement when the market is bottoming out. Its a rush to the finish line for me within the next few years. Good luck everyone.

    • @tommyabernethy6982

      I like the 50/50 idea (or a mix in general) which is why I don't mind leaving my company's match in the pre-tax bucket while I make Roth contributions in my 401k... did you notice any major differences (paycheck, yearly taxes, etc) when you switched from Traditional to Roth contributions?

    • @richlandzee8686
      @richlandzee8686 Рік тому

      @Tommy Abernethy Yes depending on the portion of your salary contribution. For example, you will notice a bigger paycheck difference between 6% of 50,000 vs 6% of 100,000. Keep in mind that this may reduce or disqualify you from your ROTH IRA contribution depending on how much you make as traditional 401k method reduces overall MAGI, and ROTH 401k does not.

It’s basically a tax free brokerage account if you like to create your own portfolio, make trades, options, and you can grab any ETF you want like SPX or QQQ or XLE. And you can contribute $6000 per year.

    Great vid. I’m an estate planning attorney (also in Chicago!), and there is another massive benefit to a Roth inre succession/gifting at death. Inherited Roth beneficiaries won’t have income taxes to pay unlike an inherited 401k. Can’t understate how much simpler that makes estate administrations let alone planning

    • @ahndeux
      @ahndeux Рік тому +2

      Its obvious why because the Roth has already been taxed while the non-roth 401K hasn't been taxed yet. The beneficiaries need to pay tax on any inherited non-roth IRA accounts also. The person owning the Roth didn't have RMDs, but the beneficiaries are required to withdraw from the account. The bigger advantage is not in the Roth or the 401K system. If the person who died have a portfolio of stocks, those stocks can be transferred to the beneficiaries and the cost basis can be reset to the current value. That is a HUGE advantage that even the Roth or 401K system doesn't allow. All the capital gains which would have been taxed will not be taxed due to the cost basis reset. However, there is still a limit due to inheritance laws. Fun stuff.

      I'd say contribute up to your match % on 401k then max out your Roth and if you want to contribute anymore do so into your 401k. In that sense you 1) lower your taxable income / put money into the 401k / reap the most benefits up to the match % and 2) then reap the benfits of tax-free into roth and 3) then going into 401k after is just for lower taxable income yet again.

      @josefarias111 Roth IRA is based on Modified adjustment growth income so even with the any tax deductions to get under the 153k threshold it wouldn’t help you in that instance but yes it’s still beneficial to get the tax reduction in general. I do agree that contributing up to your employer match is the way to go first if they offer it. Overall though I think the Roth 401k would be the best of both worlds if your company offers it I guess the only downside for that would be your investment options would be limited like the regular 401k.

    Didn't see it mentioned but look out for vesting because if you don't plan to be with your employer after the vesting period, you won't get the match. Also, check when you get the match.

      Roth 401Ks and Roth IRAs are tax free when you draw down during retirement.

    Hello Brian, thanks for this video. I am a frequent watcher of your videos and really find them helpful. I just want to understand one thing, as you mentioned that Roth 401k is very similar to Roth IRA so does that mean we don’t get penalized if we withdraw just the contribution from a Roth 401k account?

    • @richlandzee8686
      @richlandzee8686 Рік тому +1

      If I am correct, you still get penalized for it but you can confirm this with your plan administrator. To me both 401k/ROTH 401k have the same rules except one is pretax and another after tax. Also there is a difference between post tax 401k and ROTH 401k so make sure it has the word "ROTH". You will owe taxes on your earnings from your post tax 401k contributions but not your ROTH 401k.

      Interesting. I was under the impression that you can take out contributions tax free before 59 1/2 (like a normal Roth IRA). But I just looked it up and any withdrawals are prorated between contributions and earnings. Thus, if you put in 90,000 and made 10,000 interest...a withdrawal of 10,000 would be 9,000 contributions and 1,000 earnings...thus you would have to pay penalty on the 1,000. Kind of disappointed they can't allow you to withdraw just contributions like the IRA does. This may affect some of my planning. Glad I looked it up!

    I contribute both. I max to get the 8% match from my company and then contribute to my Roth IRA for the max contribution for my age. By the way, my company 401k defaults to traditional but I converted it to a Roth. It is with Fidelity.

    Thanks for the info!. HSA is also another great tax benefit . I have been maxing out traditional 401k and Roth IRA as well as HSA for 8 years now. I wish I could have done this eariler. I am now 42. Hopefully I will be able to retire early.
