Note that, generally, a Roth IRA is using after-tax money, and traditional IRAs are using PRE-tax money, which can be a significant advantage.
But you should know/understand the differences and consider which makes sense for you. Alot of this decision-making is tax driven.

You may already know all this, but perhaps not, or perhaps someone else doesn't: Can I ask if you have a 401(k) option? Especially one that has matching? You don't even have to answer -- just let me say that any kind of matching is FREE money, and you should take it. Even if there is no match, you should invest in the 401(k). Here's why. Example A (no 401(K) being used): Gross pay of $2,000 (other than non-tax deductions like health insurance etc). State and federal taxes reduce that by, say, 20%. Take home $1,600. Example B (with 401(K): Gross pay of $2,000 (other than non-tax deductions like health insurance etc.). Put $200 per week into 401(k). Gross pay now $1,800. Pay 20% ($360), so take home is $1,440. $1,440 plus the $200 in the 401(k) is $1,640. You're $40 ahead. But here's the real kicker-- the $40 grows tax free in whatever investment you put it in. You basically can't beat tax-free deductions plus tax-free growth compounding over time. It along with home ownership are the two easiest paths to building wealth in the U.S. due, largely, to our existing tax laws.

Yes, I saw before I saw your post, and edited my post. Thanks for correcting me however. He had it right.

What age are you? That's probably better than 97% of all other Americans

Main stocks I'm in: NVAX (well run company, looking for a run up soon) and AMDA ( FDA approval shortly, much riskier, sell on any major pop). Also swing trade bombardier usually once a week from low 1.90's to high 1.90's and make my 5% and repeat process. I'm a student so I'm not playing with a ton of cash (under 10k) but I am making money.

Lots of Hillbilly millionaires on the Planet.
I think I am going to liquidate my portfolio and buy a field full of junk cars and let them sit until some sucker buys them-that will be a great investment when my property tax bill hits in December. 30 cars at $200 a year property tax=$6,000 loss per year on a depreciating assets. |
