Turbo-Charge Your Retirement!
Whether you’re young or old, I hope you’re saving for your retirement. If not, it’s never too late to start. And if you want to know about an excellent vehicle that’s superior in many ways to the traditional “IRA,” you should consider the “Roth IRA.” Here’s how it works…
If you deposit money into a Roth IRA account and leave it there until retirement, you never pay taxes on the earnings. That’s right – I said NEVER! With a standard IRA, the money grows tax-deferred – you pay federal and state income tax on it as you withdraw funds during your retirement. And that can eat up to a quarter to a third of your retirement income. With a Roth IRA, you can build a nest egg that in 30 or 40 years from now contains over $1 million, and it’s yours – TAX FREE!
What you don’t get from the Roth IRA is an income tax deduction in the year you make the contribution. So you pay the taxes up front. But the tax free compounding over the years makes the tradeoff more than worthwhile. It’s the best savings deal we’ve had since the income tax went into effect.
