Years later, wouldn't a ROTH be better since the gains grew tax free? Who cares about the taxes on entry, it's all about the taxes on gains afterwards that were compounded year after year

Hey Ben, I live in canada, so even though most of this content (and the credit card stuff) is irrelevant to me, you still present it in an entertaining fashion & I still love your channel! Keep it up!

For clarification, when you say you contribute to a Roth IRA if you earn more than X, that is "modified adjusted gross income", correct …. not gross earnings?

Hey Ben, I'm on an F1 student visa in the US (from the UK too lol), but I am able to contribute to a Roth IRA. I'm currently employed for my STEM OPT.

Plus most likely government also raises tax rates in future. and it will cost more to retire when you have to pay income taxes factoring inflation.

I’m in that boat with the Roth IRA – earn too much to be able to contribute to one. Sucks but also a good problem to have lol

Question. What if I start a roth now at 20 years old, and say when im 30 I am to rich to contribute. What happens to that roth? Can it just sit there compounding interest while I open a traditional or do I have to close that roth?

You forgot about back-door Roth IRA

Credit Shifu I just learned about your channel a couple weeks ago because I was getting the credit card game. I was scared to see you were switching your content but I must say I’m very glad. Glad to be here with you

Great video but… glaring omission of the "backdoor" Roth IRA contribution.

Do you recommend having an IRA if I have a 401K?

Reply

The problem with Traditional IRA is you will pay income tax on distributions. Compare that to a traditional brokerage account in which you will pay long term capital gains tax which is potentially 0 if you don't need to sell much each year.

Hi, Ben! Thank you for your videos. I must say I like this direction for your channel. I like the broader scope. I hope you don't mind my saying so. I also like how engaging they are.
I have a Roth and a 401k through my job. I'm also a full-time employee who's paid hourly and biweekly. Where do I fit in with this stuff?
