Major disclaimer omitted: check the income limits. If you are above the income limit: - you can still contribute to a Traditional IRA, but it is not tax deductible., and then... - you can roll that non-deductible Traditional IRA into a Roth IRA This is called the Backdoor Roth, because it is a loophole that allows folks with more income to still make use of an IRA. Note that if the rollover happens and there are gains, you are responsible for paying the taxes on those gains when you file your taxes, so ideally the rollover is done within a couple of days to avoid too many taxable gains.

Yeah but in 40 years 1.8 Million is less valuable due to inflation. For instance, $3million today only has the same buying power as $1million 40 years ago.
A lot of people can tbh…sinking funds can help you get closer to the oak. Investing something is better than nothing. It’s not an all or nothing situation.
How does the contribution limit work, if you have both a Roth IRA and traditional IRA? Are the two limits independent from each other? Or are the two limits cumulative with each other?
Combined unfortunately, so for 2024 you can contribute up to $7,000 between both. Makes more sense to focus on one to get the compound interest gains than split it between the two. Depends on your financial need to access the money, if you want to use it as an accessible savings account, use ROTH as you can access the money without penalty. If you want to just set and forget about funds until retirement, go with traditional.
Do a roth IRA! Pay taxes now, no tax on growth or tax when you pull it out. Ex. You'd pay your normal income tax on the $500 before you put it in, but when you retire and thay $500 is now $1000, you pull out $1000 tax-free

Okay but what else are you gonna do?
And in 40 years, your wages are also gonna increase. Even if your wages didn't increase proportional to the inflation, it's still a great option.
Cool. So what’s your advice then, do nothing?
Dude it's still $1.8 MILLION dollars!!!

Cumulative I believe. The IRS has info on their website

at average 3% annual inflation, that $1.8m is equivalent of about $500k today. so no, it’s not a golden jar at the end of rainbow
You can update your contribution as your income grows with inflation also inflation is 2-2.5% not 3%
@@luisfilipe2023 yeah you could also win the lottery, but that’s not the point of the video. And no, the inflation rate is not 2%, it’s much higher. Can never understand why some people are like you
It also means that the market magically kept growing 8% every single year, which it doesn't, that's just the average.
@@gilbertoflores7397 exactly the market actually tends to grow more then that it’s only as low as it is because there are periods of market decline
500k today is still a lot of money for a lot of people

Depending on inflation the actual growth may be much smaller. 2% yearly?

Literally anywhere.

Legal tax evasion
Not evasion if it's legal
Tax "Avoidance" = Legal
Tax "Evasion" = Illegal
The federal government WANTS eligible citizens to save money this way. That’s not evasion.
8% interest - nice bait ;)
