    Thank you for the great info Rose. Make sure to check if your company allows a Roth IRA conversion to your Roth 401K. This can be a great way to funnel more money into your company's plan and are tax free upon withdrawal. You also have to consider your overall portfolio and what your goals and desired percentages are. Putting the max towards both of our Traditional and Roth 401K's (hedging), plus maxing out ESPP in both of our companies, makes us very invested in the stock market. So we don't do a backdoor Roth IRA/401K. It is a great option, but we like having more in local Real Estate in our portfolio. So we payoff our primary mortgage and will use the equity to buy another investment property in the near future.
    In your 401K, I don't really recommend those target date funds. They usually have some of the highest expense ratios in your 401K plan (compared to index funds). I prefer index funds and maybe the best performing mutual fund. You can shift to lower risk bonds and such as you get closer to retirement. This way your expense ratio is far less than a target date fund and you are doing the same thing they do. For example, the Fidelity 500 index fund has a 0.015% expense ratio, Small Cap index 0.025%, international index 0.035%, the target date funds are all 0.220%-0.270% (7-10x higher), mutual funds are usually double that around .44% (15-30x higher). These differences seem small, but Warren Buffett proved pegging an index returns over 10 years beat hedge funds/managed funds. Buffett's index returns were 85% and the best hedge fund was 63% with the average being 22%. So you are paying more for people to likely do worse than an index fund.
    Rose's video is an introduction video, but make sure you read up on your specific 401K plans, talk to a financial advisor about your own situation and goals, and then make large decisions about investing. I am a passive investor and have not been disappointed putting my hedged 401K money (both Roth and Traditional) into mostly index funds. When you look back at performance you usually lose to 1-2 mutual funds or 1-2 target fund by a few % points, but you beat the vast majority of your non-index options by % points. Remember that you usually charged fees everytime you move money between mutual/target date funds. Leaving them in index funds is the best way I have found to passively invest. Unless you can pick perfectly, then don't worry about index funds.

    I'd also recommend looking into after-tax 401k (not to be confused with Roth 401k) especially if you have an in plan Roth conversion. With that you can invest beyond the $19,500, benefit from both pre-tax benefits and Roth benefits in the future.

If she sells it, she will have materialized net gains of ~$1700 *per share* if she bought them back 5 years ago. Furthermore, the market doesn't work the way you say. There are plenty of companies that have been around for at least 20 years or more, even with competition around. Microsoft is still around. While we are at it, Apple is still around. Heck, Facebook has been with us, hard to believe, for almost 20 years itself. We aren't too far from that milestone. I was in high school when Facebook started up. I remember you had to get invited! You don't know what company will or will not be here in 30 years. That is all dependent on how well the company diversifies and how innovative the company remains.

    Great Video! I think you did a great job of pointing out in which account to allocate your retirement contributions. 401K Roth to get the company match, Roth IRA Max, and then 401K Roth Max if you can afford it. The reasoning was simple, better choices in the Roth IRA. The one thing I would have added is that most if not all Company 401K plans charge an Administrative fee. I've seen this fee as large as 1.25%. Since most 401K plans offer both Target and Index funds and that is what you are recommending, then the Administrative fee on the 401K plan would be my number one reason to max out my Roth IRA after the company match. I know you covered those fees later in the video but you never really associated it with the contributions/allocations portion of the video. Not sure if you are interested but I have some other thoughts about future videos if you would like to hear them. Thanks...

    Thanks for this, Rose! A question I've always had but that is never addressed in the traditional vs Roth comparison: I aim to contribute into either account in order to net the same take-home pay, rather than the same % into either account. As a simplified example, if I make $1000/mo, I could contribute $100 into traditional but only $80 into Roth (with the other $20 going to taxes today). This way, I have the same amount take-home either way to pay for bills and regular expenses. That additional $20 in the traditional account ALSO gets to grow until retirement, and could potentially outpace the tax-free advantage of the Roth at withdrawal. Would you be able to address this?

  • @tushardesai4758
    @tushardesai4758 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    great video indicating the difference. It would be worth adding the 401K after tax contribution factor as well. While the typical pre-tax employee 401K contribution limit for 2020 is 19500, the combined employer and employee contribution limit (including pre-tax and post-tax contribution) is $57,000. What this means is that one could also choose to max out the pre-tax 401K contribution of 19500 and add the employer contribution to it (let's say 3K). Now you can invest the remaining $34.5K as after tax contribution to your 401K and then immediately rollover the that after tax contribution to roth (also termed as roth in plan conversion). This gives you the best of both worlds. Since a typical Roth IRA has the 6-7K limit, this option allows you to funnel 5 times the money to Roth and grow tax deferred. Having said that, it doesn't prevent you to contribute to the regular 6-7K to the Roth IRA yearly as well. Check out the Roth in plan conversion if you have not already...

    Excellent advice. The only reason I'm maxing my Traditional 401K is to reduce my MAGI so that I can continue to contribute in my Roth IRA. When my MAGI permanently exceeds the Roth IRA limit, I will switch to Roth 401 contributions.
    Question: What (recommended) conversion options are there for a Traditional 401K, and how do we do this conversion?

    @sweetescapegrande3112 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    I believe it also depends on the yearly withdrawal amount when you retire. For me personally, I prefer 401k/403b. I will be in a much lower income tax bracket when I retire, and I also like the lower AGI as I max out my 403b (my company offers 403b) every year. At the same time, I invest the saved money in Roth IRA and taxable account. If your yearly retirement withdrawal lands you in a higher tax bracket, then I would recommend you pay your tax now by choosing Roth 401k/Roth 403b. If your yearly retirement income will be the same tier as now, then I would still pick Roth 401k/Roth 403b over 401k/403b, because the tax rate might be higher for the same tier when you retire many years later.

    • @Bravo1VE
      @Bravo1VE 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That is sound logic. That is the approach that I am taking. With all things considered such as SS, pension and any other forms of income, how much can you withdraw while staying in the lower tax brackets. If a withdraw is going to pull you into a higher tax bracket then draw from your Roth 401k or Roth IRA. That said it is also assumed that the tax rate will be higher later on, so sometimes its better to take the hit now with rates being low historically speaking.

      While it is true you don't know your tax bracket you are not factoring growth. If you are you your investments will grow. So even if you are at a lower tax bracket any of the exponential growth will be taxed in a tradditional 401k. So even at a lower tax bracket you will be taxed more because of the growth.

  • @allent1034
    @allent1034 4 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    In order to know if a tax deferred or Roth is better for you, you must determine your tax situation and withdrawal circumstance after you retire. Assuming you put equal money in both accounts with in the same fund (same return) and your tax bracket was the same when you put it in as when you took it out, the end result amount of money would be exactly the same. So if your tax bracket is lower before retirement then invest it a Roth. If it will be lower after retirement (most people) then invest in a tax deferred.
    In my case the Federal bracket will probably be the same but I plan to move from a high tax state to a no tax state so that will save over 10% tax. I would be foolish to invest in a Roth 401k and pay 10% more tax than I need to pay.
    One advantage to Roth is that you can take it out all at once and not push you into a higher bracket. So if your Fed and State tax bracket will likely be the same and you don't need money now then go for a Roth and pay taxes now. You may need to take a huge chunk out of your retirement all at once, who knows.

    • @spicano6309

      The way you figure this out is to pretend you're retired and use a tax calculator online. AARP has a great one use all the information like you were retired. And then run both Roth and traditional scenarios in the calculator with your retirement savings and see which one is better. You may even want to try 50% Roth and 50% traditional. The way to figure this out is with the calculator and not by listening to people talk online that don't have all your information. With taxes all information matters

    I agree, Rose! I explained this to my parents about a decade ago when I was researching on Roth IRAs and Traditional IRAs. There definitely is a difference, and now, with Roth 401ks, it's just better. I do actually have a hybrid 401k, where my employer matches my pre-tax contributions, but I can still contribute to a Roth portion. Baby, I'm putting it in! What I feel you didn't explain well enough is regarding the $1,000,000 withdrawal scenario. What people need to understand is, you pay taxes ONLY on what you've contributed into a Roth 401k/IRA. Say you only put in $100,000 into your Roth over the course of time. That money is after tax. But let's say somehow, you put this money in to the Roth and you ended up with $1,000,000 when you reach retirement age. Guess what? When you start taking out that money, you don't have to take out any more for taxes. You already paid it...on your principal amount. You're effectively getting all your return TAX FREE. Now, guys, this is just an example. It is make belief. It's not to say that you can't make $1,000,000 with just $100k, but I am just trying to show how if you put after tax money into this vehicle, whatever your return is, you get that tax free! Traditional 401k and IRAs don't do that. This is what I think some people didn't understand from what you were explaining, but I hope I cleared it up.

      The Roth IS always better except in extremely specific, stranger circumstances... because with a traditional 401k, you are eventually paying taxes on the contributions AND investment earnings as opposed to a Roth IRA where earnings are tax free in almost all cases. It is more than just a timing difference on when you pay taxes. Even if you think you'll be paying less tax in retirement, are you willing to gamble that the tax brackets and tax percentages will be the same in retirement as they are now with the government in trillions of dollars of debt?

Many I have bought at 25 to 30 while enjoying a fixed dividend return of 10 to 15 % then watching all recently increase to par $100,000. for a nice 20% to 30% monthly return. My Fund Manager’s best income recommendations are: FFC, GAB, PML etc... The first two make a nice diversified portfolio (preferred, equity, and internationals) and the last a tax free bond fund. The first three pay 10% to 15% annual dividends and the PML pays 7.5% tax free. Beats the heck out of the Dow and CD's and treasuries.

    Nice video Rose! I do think however that investing in a traditional 401k can be the better option. The taxes you pay upfront for the roth are at the marginal rate, while taxes you pay on the backend for a traditional are going to be at your future effective rate, which would most likely be lower.
    Going back to that example you had with the million dollars, it’s unlikely that you’d be withdrawing the entire million and facing a larger tax bill. It’s more likely that you’d be withdrawing whatever your living expenses are for the year, lowering your tax bill.
    I think if you’re in the 22%+ tax brackets, you can really benefit from deferring taxes during your high income earning years and paying those taxes when your retired with no/lower income.

    A couple of things:
    * Roth IRAs have income limits. You can get around this, but it should be mentioned. Otherwise, when you actually go to open a Roth IRA and see the income limits, you might just walk away, assuming you can't do it
    * While 401(k)/Roth 401(k)s are limited in terms of where you can invest, at the end of the day, all I want is to invest in an index fund matching the S&P 500. If your plan has one of those, nothing is going to beat it long term anyway.
    * I don't like your example of, "taking out a million dollars from your 401(k) vs taking out $1 million from your Roth 401(k)". Why? Because the real example would be "taking out **$1.7 million** from your 401(k) vs taking out $1 million from your Roth 401(k)". For every dollar you put into the Roth 401(k), you're really only putting in, for example, 69 cents.

    Great video, but the $1M traditional 401k vs. Roth 401k example is a misleading comparison. The traditional 401k's strength is it allows you to dedicate more money as early as possible to the power of compounding. As an example, let's say you set aside $19,500 each year for your 401k. In a traditional 401k, all $19,500 is pre-tax and gets invested, whereas you'd only be contributing $12,675 annually to a post-tax Roth 401k (assuming a 35% tax rate). After 30 years, you'd have $1.54M in a traditional 401k account vs. just $1M in a Roth 401k. To hit that $1.54M target with a Roth 401k, you'd have to set aside close to $30,000 per year for investments and taxes!

I appreciate your frugality, common sense approach to finances and the plainness you present for us laymen. Please keep the wonderful videos coming. :) God bless you!
    On that note, I've just opened an E-trade IRA (rollover, thanks for the tips!) (will open another rollover IRA, divide the rollover funds, due to FDIC protection limits and maximize investment options) and plan to move my old employer 401k funds, not all but a large portion. The plan is to take advantage of the investment opportunities now available as a result of this market that has been crushed! 401k is currently at -12%, not bad at all considering the hit the overall market has taken. A seemingly great opportunity to make far more than just a 12% recovery. Oil industry for one. Thanks for all the good advice
