  • In this video, I will share five huge mistakes that people make with their Roth IRA's.
    A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account that offers tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals in retirement. Roth IRA rules dictate that as long as you've owned your account for 5 years and you're age 59½ or older, you can withdraw your money when you want to and you won't owe any federal taxes.

    I am in my 40s and This is no time to taper retirement savings. I want to max out my retirement funding and I also have another $200k in a savings account that i want to invest in a non-retirement account.Would it be better going to housing? Maybe own property and let it till im ready to move in at 65.

      Research some dividend aristocrats and choose six to ten firms with over 25 years of dividend payments. Also consider working with an asset-manager to build a strong portfolio.

      It depends on your personal preferences and comfort level. However, one option is to keep things simple and consult an asset manager. They can help you determine your risk appetite, avoid common mistakes, and provide a broader perspective on your investment landscape. I have about ($1.25m) in non-retirement assets. Compared to the whole value of my portfolio during the last three years, I have no debt and a very little in retirement accounts. To be completely honest, the information provided by managers can only be ignored but not neglected. Simply undertake research to choose a trustworthy one.

      Here's the biggest mistake: GETTING a roth IRA. They are NOT tax free. You do NOT get the deduction for the contributions like you did with a traditional IRS. All taxes are paid i9n advance. There is NO advantage to a roth IRA.
      IRAs sounded good 40 years ago when banks paid decent interest. Banks promised having $1 million at retirement. Now you get a better rate of return by keeping your money under the mattress.

      @@grgoblin You seem to forget something. When you invest your 5000 dollars to your ROTH IRA, that money was taxed already at your total income rate. Let say the amount of tax from that 5k was around 600 dollars. Now 30 to 50 years later, your 5k, if you haven't invested anymore money, then you would have around little over 38,000. At 50 years, 147,285 dollars. ALL THAT MONEY now is TAX FREE.
      So.......You whine about paying your 600 dollars in tax currently for ROTH IRA but NEGLECT the amount of money you DON'T have to pay taxes on when your investment hits 30 years on 38k, which you will have to pay each time you take out the money out of your Traditional IRA account. For 38k, you have to pay, if we keep the same percentage as when it was at 5600 dollars (at 10.7%) it is an estimate tax rate after deduction if you make around 35k, is 4,066 dollars. At 147,285, which will be a lot more of taxes if you decide to take the whole thing out because of delayed taxes on your Traditional IRA, will be around 29,522 dollars.
      So, with Traditional IRA, you save that 600 dollars NOW and your taxable income is lowered by 600 dollars NOW, but have to pay 4,066 dollars at 30 years, or 29,522 dollars at 50 years later when you hit the 59 1/2 years old, OR pay that 600 dollars NOW, and DON'T pay those amounts of tax when you withdraw on your ROTH IRA. So, which do you want? Save NOW, or LATER. I'll take the ROTH IRA over Traditional IRA ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

    Good video! One word of warning to your viewers - you quickly mention at the end that it's okay to invest in both a Roth IRA and a Traditional IRA - this is true, but please note that you can only contribute up to the yearly limit shared between these two IRAs. For example, in 2020 the limit is $6,000 - so if you contribute $4,000 to your Roth, you can only contribute $2,000 to your Traditional.
    401ks have limits separate from IRAs.

    Well explained, the best thing is investing your money rather than just leaving it in your bank accounts, where it ends up loosing it's value over time. I used to be a victim of this, until I met a financial advisor *Christy Val D'souza* , she explained to me why I must invest my money and have my retirement planned. Now I can proudly say I make so much every week from my investment and my retirement account is growing bigger and better. I am not worried of getting older anymore.

      Most of us don't have enough leftover from our collectively lessening income even under self-imposed austerity measures. Took me forever just to save up 1K to open a Roth IRA account and since the pandemic can't contribute. The only positive is that I refuse to withdraw even during lockdown. By the time my income catches up to have significant amounts saved aside, I will have lost the edge of compounded interest over time. I get angry everytime I am reminded of this and honestly feel a bit helpless.

    OMG, Everything you said not to do is spot on. I had an agent who told me about investing in a traditional IRA with mutual funds. They were taking about 5% each year in fees. She NEVER told me about the Roth IRA which I just learned about when I retired this year. So I rolled all my IRA funds into a rollover acct where I don't have to pay 5% anymore. I was also able to fully fund 2 years into a Roth IRA that I will reinvest for 5 years. AS YOU SAID "I wish someone had told me all this when I was younger."

    Really great video Nate, thanks for the tips!
    I did notice you described Traditional and Roth IRA's a little off. You mentioned paying taxes for the money you'd receive from your employer for a traditional IRA but in fact, with a traditional IRA you'd actually be investing with pre-tax, meaning you don't pay any taxes to your employer and Uncle Sam because you'd be paying for the taxes when you're ready to withdraw.
    The key difference between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA is that with a traditional IRA you'd be investing with money you haven't paid taxes on, which is why you'd be paying taxes when you withdraw. While a Roth IRA is an account where you can invest with you paycheck that has already been discounted for taxes, which is why you wouldn't be paying taxes when you withdraw, because you've already paid for them upfront.

    It's never too late to think about retirement and these issues. Whether someone chooses a Roth vs. Traditional IRA will partially come down to how much they expect to earn in retirement vs prior to retirement. We want to maximize tax savings so we want to be taxed on this money at the time we are receiving the least income. This ensures a lower tax rate and more savings for us. Thank you for this great video! These mistakes you explain can really add up!

    One common sense mistake that wasn’t really obvious to me as a beginner was the fact that you can only contribute earned income to these. You can’t contribute 20 dollars you found on the ground. Luckily I caught onto this before I invested more than what was on my W2 since I usually have unearned cash in my wallet. I know this is literally how Roth IRAs are supposed to work but for some reason it didn’t click for a while

      It depends if you will make less money in the future or plan only on living off the IRA, it might work better to go with traditional because you will be in a lower tax bracket. Also, if you want to keep the extra tax money now and just pay it later, then maybe you want a traditional IRA. It certainly sounds more convenient to go with a Roth, but it doesn't always mean it's the one best for your particular case.

It'll never happen. Opened up the Roth IRA and decided to treat it like a monthly bill instead of an added expense after everything else.

    Using money in your Roth IRA as an emergency fund makes a ton of sense. It earns more than a "Emergency Fund" in a savings account will. The rule is just dont go into your earnings. Other than that, if you need 500 bucks to pay a bill, use your Roth and then invest more in the next month to put it back.

    One of the worst things I’ve ever been told when it comes to retirement was; I wanted to open a ROTH IRA and a traditional IRA to roll over a 401k and ROTH 401K to my bank. The women there wanted me to just open a traditional IRA, I told her I still wanted to make weekly contributions to the ROTH IRA. She told me I can just use my T IRA for that. I ask her if I would be double taxed if I did it that when I would withdrawn at retirement? She was like oh don’t worry about that………. Needless to say I insisted on opening both a traditional and a ROTH IRA….. some people just don’t care, just want you to move on and get to the next person. Small mistakes and be big mistakes if not dealt with quickly.

    Always invest in 401k at least up to the company match (free money). Convert your 401k to an IRA as soon as you leave the company since this opens up your investment options. Roth IRAs also don't mandate distributions when you reach 70 so deplete your traditional IRAs first then start tapping into the Roth since it grows tax free. Choose an investment advisor who will act as a fiduciary. This is a strict legal term meaning that they put your interests first.

    I’m glad I stumbled on this. Investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life and have a comfortable retirement. Working multiple jobs for money isn’t the optimal way to attain financial freedom. Unfortunately, we find this out later in life. Great video.

      I’ve also thought about this as a means of earning more but I’m clueless on how to go about it, but I’m keen on getting started. What’s your story?

      Thankfully, my income is enough that I can dump a lot of extra money into the market. On the positive, I’m going to start investing since one of my goals is to be financially stable before the year runs out.

      I came across such comments about Levi's prowess earlier and thought it couldn’t be true till I reached out for help. Great recommendation.
