We have Roths. Mostly because that’s what our money guy suggested. But also because trusting your money to Ira Roth just sounds like a wise choice. Also secretly hoping for Van Halen tix discounts.

My advisor says the same. Key to that is what @froginmn mentioned about getting hit more due to the earnings on the back end.
I'm getting to that stage of the career where my money still needs to work for me, but I also have to protect more against "losses". Especially since I went through a divorce in recent years. The planning had to be adjusted some.

We missed our baby’s 13th birthday a few weeks ago. HASMSP became a teenager on January 5. We’re all terrible parents. Terrible, old, parents.

See my post #193,822 on Jan 5.

Just installed new drop lighting in the living room. Really enjoying the ambiance, though looks like I need to turn the heat up.

Since we're growing up, I'd like your thoughts on traditional versus Roth IRA. The conventional train of thought is to put money into a traditional pre-tax IRA if your tax rate is higher now than it will be in retirement.

Some public voices are now saying that since contributions AND earnings in a Roth come out tax free, Roth makes sense for most everyone regardless of income. Pre-tax IRA contributions reduce your taxable income going in but both contributions and earnings get taxed on withdrawals, so even at a lower rate you can end up paying more taxes than with a Roth.

Thinking I should put everything into Roth. Why wouldn't that make sense?

I do half and half

I figure that way I can’t be more than half wrong.

That is Jenny's phone number. Mine is for Julie S. Squeezer's office phone number at Texas Instruments.

easy to guess some in that video have advanced to the divorced mom classification, and are making the same choices again.
