Roth IRA vs Traditional IRA: Which Is Better?

Just started looking into an IRA im 26 and couldnt decide which i should choose between traditional or roth. And watching this video im leaning towards “roth” like you said life takes crazy turns an if you need the $$ then there shouldnt be a penalty when withdrawing.

Are you taxed on just the earnings/gains or on the entire amount you withdraw? The oral words said earnings while the typed words says taxed at withdrawal, so I was not clear.

How soon can I transfer from a traditional to a Roth ?

So what do the company’s where u set up an IRA with get out of it? How r they paid out and whatnot?

Question: If a withdrawal from a Roth IRA exceeds personal contributions and dips into the investment earnings, do you still pay penalties even after the 5 year mark? Are you only able to access the investment earnings once you hit 59 and a half or buy a first home?

Very clear. Thank you

Thanks for sharing 🙏
It really helps me decide which IRA benefits me the most

How do you determine whether or not youll be taxed higher when you’re older

My original retirement plan was to retire at 62, work part-time, and save money. However, high prices for everything have severely affected my plan. I'm concerned if people who went through the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am having now. The stock market is worrying me as my income has decreased, and I fear I won't have enough savings for retirement since I can't contribute as much as before.

Great video thank you for the insight

but what happens if you do a backdoor? put it into the traditional which you say is tax deductible, then switch it to a roth which will be tax free later. did you just avoid all taxes?

vanguard is the GOAT

Great video thank you.😊 especially OK the conversion from traditional to Roth.

but don't you pay tax on the conversation from traditional to Roth? always get confusing for me.. and i know this old video but i need answer lolz

Thank you for the explanation! Super helpful.

Or.. hear me out. I keep all my money and aren’t taxed on it without conditionals.

Sorry can you clarify cause I read online that you cant withdraw from a Roth early without penalty?

So if I fund my Roth with after dollars, how do I fund my Traditional?

What if you open a Roth IRA and your income surpasses $139,000 after a few years of having it? Can you still keep the account and contribute to it ?

hi everyone😁

You mentioned being able to convert from traditional to Roth, can you convert from Roth to traditional if you over time make more money than the 139k limit?

Thanks Humphrey

When you convert how to do contribute again? Lol. Cant due to income limits. Easier for me but then there’s this backdoor ha

So could you open a traditional to get the tax deductions and then later on switch to the roth through the backdoor roth IRA conversion?

is rollover IRA a traditional IRA?

My 19 year old friend wants to start a Roth IRA but her income she has she got paid under the table. I know Roth is pre taxed income. Is it okay if she transfers money that she made under the table and create a Roth or will the IRS find out and she gets in trouble?

In your Medical Emergency Example, how are you penalized after TEN years ? After ten years, don't you have the absolute right to withdraw contributions and earnings without penalty? How can it be that "in year eleven" you are hit with a ten percent penalty? Don't you mean to say that before five years there is a penalty?

simple question.
My traditional IRA is down 35% ( in red)
I am 62.5 yrs old.
Can I cash out this account and use the losses toward my income and/or profits from my cash broker account?
I don’t see how I need to pay taxes on a retirement account if I am down so much?
I know you don’t give tax advice but what would you do?
Thx

so if you start a traditional IRA and put money IN tax FREE then convert it to a ROTH where you dont have to pay taxes when you pull it out, how do the taxes work there, free gains with no taxes ever??

Where can i find info on most up to date changes for IRA contributions?

Might as well do both if we want to keep it diverse and expand in all ways.

I opened a traditional ira with BoA, which is not FDIC insured. At the time when I opened it, i had no idea what FDIC was, hadn't done much research. Luckily, it's only been less than a year. What would you recommend? Any bank suggestions on where to open with that are FDIC insured? Thanks.

OMG THE REPUTATION BOX!!!!!! HELLO SWIFTIE!

The best I’ve heard. 🫡

If I was told so many years back then that I would be able to live in my fully owned house at 37 years with my wife at 33 years alongside a combined net worth of over $1.5M in assets and savings with no debts. I may disagree heavily.

It wasn't easy sometime back,when I had 2 kids in school and had a lot of debts to settle.

This lifestyle that made us retire so early is only possible through efficient saving and key passive income processes.

thanks for explaining this

I haven't saved enough for early retirement due to bonehead decisions (I have around $60k in my TSP (tradicional IRA from the Feds) so I think that I'll be working up to 65 years old. So I believe that the traditional IRA would probably be my best option. Great info! Subscribed.

Both seem like a crappy deal tbh. What if you wanna retire at 45 or 50? What you aren't allowed to withdraw your own money without being taxed for 10-15 years? Just get Dividend and ETF stocks that way you aren't penalized for wanting your own money.

Can you have multiple ira accounts through different entities?

Do the Vanguard video yes please

I have been trying to understand this for hours and you did it in less than 10 minutes! Thank you!

Great video, thank you!

Can you do a video on REITs and where is the best place to get them? I have seen Fidelity and there is a women-owned company that has them, but I would like to sit down with someone and have them break everything down for me.

I'd like to see a video on the best places to open and Roth ira!!!!

If you have a Roth IRA now when you’re earning less than the 200k income limit. When you start making more than 200k will you no longer be able to contribute to the Roth IRA?

I was looking up the differences between the Irish Republican Army and Irish Republicans Brotherhood 💀

Do I pay taxes every year on rout ira ?

What about Robinhoods IRA’s
