Lots of you have asked "Can I fund a 401k AND an IRA?" Yes, you certainly can, and many people do. By potentially maxing out an IRA and/or a 401(k) (or any other work-sponsored retirement plan) you can sock even more money away for retirement. Roth IRA's are subject to an income-limit phase out and Traditional IRA's can lose their deduction if you have a 401(k) and earn over a certain amount. But the short answer is -- if you CAN fund a Roth IRA and a 401k, go for it, you awesome save, you! Want to check out your status and see if you can fund an IRA, 401k, or both? Here's a great resource from the IRS: www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employee/retirement-topics-ira-contribution-limits
If I have 2 IRA’s both with the same cap, say 6000$ a year, that means that I can put up until 6000$ in both IRA’s or I can put 6000$ in each ? That and can I for example own 2 Roth IRA’s or only on Roth IRA and IRA of a different kind. Thank you.
Investing in Roth IRA can be a good choice since they are funded with after tax dollars, your contributions can grow tax-free over time. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA in retirement, you won’t have to pay tax on it, which will help you keep more of your hard-earned money. I retired with 5 million dollars
If you’re new to investing or have a more complex financial situation, It can be helpful to work with a financial advisor who can provide personalized guidance and help you make informed investment decisions.
On the contrary, even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal port-folio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my port-folio this red season. I’ve made over $150k since then

So the earlier you start investing, the more time your investment has to grow through compounding

@@blakstorm12 While I agree that the stock isn't the best indicator to predict a recession, you're absolutely wrong about stock buybacks.

Here’s a real-world example of the power of compound tax free interest: in 1986-1989 when I was in high school then starting college I was working minimum wage jobs (back then, $3.35/hr) and working part-time I earned about $2000/year, so each year my parents gave me a gift equal to the maximum IRA contribution I was allowed to make, as long as I deposited it into an IRA (Not surprisingly I spent most of my paychecks, so didn’t have much left over to invest myself, needed the gift from them). So over those 4 years I deposited a little over $6800, but starting in 1992 I had a job with a 403(b) retirement plan, so I have made no further contributions to the IRA account since 1989. Today it’s worth almost $100,000, and I’m only 50, there is another 21 years of compound interest to accumulate. Thanks mom and dad! I advise all my friends with kids who are working part time jobs, that assuming they don’t have other higher priorities (such as paying off credit card debt) that they gift their kids the maximum amount that can be put into an IRA and get that investment started as early as possible.
I am currently running through my 40s and This is no time to taper retirement savings.

Because ROTH IRAs are tax-free, you'll be able to keep more of the money you've worked so hard to earn.I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure how to go.
That’s true, Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, , and in just a few months, I was able to earn over $950K in net profit from high dividend yielding stocks
My consultant is *Sharon Louise Count* She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care for supervision. I basically follow her trade pattern and haven’t regretted doing so
Considering your interest in investing more than $300k, you might want to explore Bridgestow as an option. They have demonstrated good returns, and their alliances with top investment companies add an extra layer of credibility. It could be a strategic move worth considering for your larger investment.
I've been in a similar position, looking to invest a substantial amount, and Bridgestow has worked out well for me. I'm currently waiting on my IRA to invest with them too because their returns are quite unique and promising. It might be a worthwhile choice for you as well, given your investment goals.@@DanielAdolf

I just got my first official job, and I'm already planning to retire. I'm 25 years old, so I think the Roth IRA may be the best IRA option because of compounding and I believe that my income would continue to grow as I continue with my career
Whether a Roth or Traditional IRA is better for younger people has nothing to do with how "long" that younger person has to invest. You either get your income taxed on the frontend, or the backend. There are smaller technicalities such as the fact that a Roth has more flexibility on the age you must withdraw the money, as well as the fact that you can invest slightly more since the money is already after tax. But the #1 key to deciding which one to choose is: What income tax rate you think you will be in when you retire, compared to your current tax rate. Younger people who have just started working tend to be in lower tax rates, so it's better for them to use a Roth and pay taxes now, assuming their tax rates will be higher in retirement. The opposite is often true for workers in the prime of their career, and who expect to be in a lower income tax bracket when they retire.
This is a really informative video. For people who are just being introduced to investing for retirement, you could also do another video comparing 401(k) to IRAs. Keep up the great work, guys!
I have constantly heard to start using an ira, 401k or some other kind of investment, as well as health insurance but they were never actually explained to me so I just ignored people or threw away the papers I got from jobs. I honestly never really thought about retiring because it didn't sound realistic to me so I never cared to learn about this stuff. You guys have been so incredibly helpful and I'm glad I learned this while I'm still in my early 20's 🙌
For Canadian viewers, the Canadian equivalent is a TFSA (ou CÉLI pour les francophones). It was interesting to see the similarities and differences between the Canadian and American versions. As usual, an excellent video. I look forward to your future productions.
@@cesarcastillo2511 We don't have the equivalent of a Roth and the max is $10,000 CDN. (It was higher, but Ottawa lowered the ceiling: Shortly after its introduction, some clever Canucks made a killing on the stock market with their TFSA, and, as you may know, the interest generated with a TSFA is... tax free!)
So: if I put away $10,000 for retirement, it doesn't get taxed when I put it away. But when I go to take it out, it gets taxed as income, at the future, (doubtless higher) tax rate. I'm not seeing the real benefit here over say, buying tangible property for future resale (IE, gold or real estate). Definitely makes the Roth variation all the more appealing.
Thank you for keeping it simple . Jesus those other RUclipsrs explaining this made it so hard to understand. Thank You again! You just got a new subscriber!
I was also wondering why Two Cents had started talking about terrorism for a moment there. Mind you, multiple meanings does seem to be a fairly common problem when it comes to initialisms.
Once slight correct with Roth IRAs is that you CAN withdraw anything that you put into it at anytime without a penalty (not that you should, but you have the option). You just can't take out any EARNINGS without a penalty. This also makes a ROTH very attractive for people who are a bit gun-shy about investing in retirement.
Some would think that a trump supporter wouldn't agree with a (mostly) socialist paramilitary movement. But theres an exemption. The provisional IRA broke away from the original IRA due to the original's larger focus on socialism.
The Roth IRA was enacted in 1997, I recall. I opened my Roth IRA account in 1998 with Janus with $2000, the limit at the time. Over the years, I contributed the maximum limits and saw them increase to $3000, then to $4000, then to $5000, and to $6000, and when I turned 50 I put in that extra $1000 and now I invest $7000 every year, and in the future will invest whatever the maximum will be. Janus is now Janus Henderson and the fund I invested in, Janus Twenty, is now the Janus Forty. Today I am 52 and that account is worth over a half a million.
Oh my gosh thanks for this video ! I’m studying for the tax part of the CPA exam and I was kind of confused about IRAs this helped me understand it better!
@@matthew8153 "Because of inflation a Roth is always better than a traditional IRA." That is not correct. Inflation affects Roth as much as traditional.
Remember that with a traditional IRA you will be required to take distributions. Meaning that if you live beyond the average life expectancy, that account will run dry 🤷♂️
Chris Invests - Personal Finance Videos you are correct that there are required minimum distributions from traditional IRA accounts, but they are recalculated every year so without defining what is “average life expectancy” I’m skeptical that anyone with a well funded IRA, properly invested, who withdraws *no more than* the required minimum distribution (RMD) will see the account go to zero. My mom lived to 91, took only the RMD, and the last 8 years of her life (the time I was tracking her finances) the account had a *higher* balance every year, despite the RMDs.
Dear Two Cents and fellow viewers, It is my goal to understand investing and finance. Could someone point me to any resources? Particularly, I get confused with the benefits and disadvantages between 401K, Roth IRA, regular IRA. Then there's pre tax and post tax. Very confusing. I hope I can learn the differences between them.
I use a Roth IRA in partnership with my 401(k)! I hold only REITs that pay monthly dividends in my Roth IRA while I have an index fund and a target date fund in my 401(k); my philosophy is use the Roth IRA to generate a monthly income stream in retirement and the 401(k) is for general growth of the stock market
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you withdraw whatever money you put into a Roth IRA at any age? I was informed that only captial gains need to remain invested until retirement.
Why would someone want an IRA over a 401k? I still feel confused about what are the ups and downs of all of these. Roth, 401k and traditional IRA. And also how do the IRAs shelter you from taxes?
401ks are great because they can have company matching, however, they often have limited investment options depending on the options provided to you. If you are looking for a wider range of stocks, mutual funds, index funds, etc. to choose from, IRAs are a great option.
I think this was one of your best videos yet. Good job guys. I think you should have expanded a little bit on why it is beneficial to max out a Roth when you are young since most people don't understand taxes. For all the youngins out there, you're probably in the lowest tax bracket that you will ever be in (~10-20%) right now. When you are at retirement age, you will more than likely be making much more and in a higher bracket. i.e. pay less tax now instead of the future. This is the opposite of your 401(k) that is funded through pre-tax dollars, so when you're mid-career and are in a higher tax bracket than you will be in at retirement you want to focus on the 401(k) first and then your Roth second. But for now, Roth first, 401(k) second. Also, look into a Roth 401(k) and see if that would be better suited for your situation.
@@MicahRion No problem! Look into a self/or solo 401(k) if you would still like a 401(k). I don't know what you do for a living but you may qualify for one!
Hi all! I’m 23 years old and I have a part time minimum paying job. I’ve been wanting to start a Roth IRA for the past two years. However, all of my friends that I asked have told me to just wait when I have a higher paying job to open an account. Should I just wait or open one up now even if I’m only putting or $1,000 or $2,000 away each year?
Side note to the video: Run the numbers: Roth vs. Traditional Assume tax rate is constant. (30%) Assume constant 10% annual investment growth for simplicity Traditional Year1=$100 Year2=$110 Year3=$121 Year4=$133.1 Year5=$146.41 Tax at 30% = $102.49 IRA Year1=$70 Year2=$77 Year3=$84.70 Year4=$93.17 Year5=$102.49 The only advantage to Roth is if you get taxed less when you invest than when you withdraw. Also, when you are forced to withdraw funds from your IRA/401K when you are older you can control what tax bracket you land in.

Should I just wait till I have a stable career and out of college and any debt?can u give any tips about how it’s going for you or what the process was like?
Leilani Dru the early you start the better even if it is a little. Compound interest makes time really important. You can make more money but you can’t get more time.
@@leilanidru7506 I've been maxing it out. So $500 a month. It's nice because technically you have until April of each year to max it out. So it's a bit easier.
L B yea but what’s the point of the earlier i start if I’m not gonna be putting much anyways:( like maybe $150 but nothing close to the max.
@@leilanidru7506 save anything is more important than maxing. Many people I know never get to the max.
You've done an absolute top notch job on this. Very informative! I’m a dividend investor, my wife and I have invested in the s&p500, both through my TSP with the government and through fidelity in her 401-k. Cashed out 370k from the S&P and invested with a full service broker.. Until about 3years ago we were 100% in the s&p after over 30 years. I’m retiring at the end of the month at 59, while my wife will retire next year at 54. We currently have 5.7 million in out tex deferred savings.
Big win. Congrats to you and your wife .

Awesome, but I think, I wouldn't know but, wouldn't it be better if you both retired at the same time
I see this exact same comment under some other video with a different account name.
Because ROTH IRAs are tax-free, you'll be able to keep more of the money you've worked so hard to earn.I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure how to go.
Currently, my primary worry is how to increase revenue during periods of quantitative easing. I cannot afford to witness my savings dwindle away.
That’s true, Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, , and in just a few months, I was able to earn over $950K in net profit from high dividend yielding stocks
My consultant is *Sharon Louise Count* She has since provide entry and exit points on the securities I focus on. You can look her up online if you care for supervision. I basically follow her trade pattern and haven’t regretted doing so
Considering your interest in investing more than $300k, you might want to explore Bridgestow as an option. They have demonstrated good returns, and their alliances with top investment companies add an extra layer of credibility. It could be a strategic move worth considering for your larger investment.
I've been in a similar position, looking to invest a substantial amount, and Bridgestow has worked out well for me. I'm currently waiting on my IRA to invest with them too because their returns are quite unique and promising. It might be a worthwhile choice for you as well, given your investment goals.@@DanielAdolf
Opened my first Roth a few months ago, at 21.

I just got my first official job, and I'm already planning to retire.
I'm 25 years old, so I think the Roth IRA may be the best IRA option because of compounding and I believe that my income would continue to grow as I continue with my career
Last time I invested in an IRA I got an AK47, a balaclava and a Liam Neeson accent.
You should never borrow of the IRA' they knee cap people who don't pay them back in time 😁

This video becomes a lot funnier if you imagine they're talking about the other IRA.
What is IRA
Me: Gets AK47 And Ski Mask
Whether a Roth or Traditional IRA is better for younger people has nothing to do with how "long" that younger person has to invest. You either get your income taxed on the frontend, or the backend. There are smaller technicalities such as the fact that a Roth has more flexibility on the age you must withdraw the money, as well as the fact that you can invest slightly more since the money is already after tax. But the #1 key to deciding which one to choose is: What income tax rate you think you will be in when you retire, compared to your current tax rate. Younger people who have just started working tend to be in lower tax rates, so it's better for them to use a Roth and pay taxes now, assuming their tax rates will be higher in retirement. The opposite is often true for workers in the prime of their career, and who expect to be in a lower income tax bracket when they retire.
I'm turning 18 by the end of this year, this is definitely one of the financial goals I'm setting. ofc when I start making more than $550...
Something we should all use cause no one is teaching us about them 😱
Right?!?!
Two Cents right.
I wonder how many Canadian's who watch this channel were confused why you were doing a show about "The troubles"
This is a really informative video. For people who are just being introduced to investing for retirement, you could also do another video comparing 401(k) to IRAs. Keep up the great work, guys!
Thanks so much! Yes, that's something we've been kicking around!
Well an IRA is a paramilitary formed in Ir-
Sorry, I'm an irish viewer and I thought of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) straight away. Love the channel guys. Keep up the good work. Dan
I have constantly heard to start using an ira, 401k or some other kind of investment, as well as health insurance but they were never actually explained to me so I just ignored people or threw away the papers I got from jobs. I honestly never really thought about retiring because it didn't sound realistic to me so I never cared to learn about this stuff. You guys have been so incredibly helpful and I'm glad I learned this while I'm still in my early 20's 🙌
Yay! And yes, take Retirement SERIOUSLY NOW WHILE YOU CAN!!! It is a real thing. One day you won't want to earn that paycheck no mo!
For Canadian viewers, the Canadian equivalent is a TFSA (ou CÉLI pour les francophones). It was interesting to see the similarities and differences between the Canadian and American versions.
As usual, an excellent video. I look forward to your future productions.
Just curious what is different in the Canadian one?
@@cesarcastillo2511 We don't have the equivalent of a Roth and the max is $10,000 CDN. (It was higher, but Ottawa lowered the ceiling: Shortly after its introduction, some clever Canucks made a killing on the stock market with their TFSA, and, as you may know, the interest generated with a TSFA is... tax free!)
Wouldn’t the rrsp (reer) be the proper comparison?
I’ve had an IRA ever since Protestants moved into my neighborhood.
Was looking for info on the terrorist organization but thank you.
you mean heroic liberation organization
Why is the British police outside my house
This doesn’t sound related to the car bombs i know related to the IRA that I’m thinking about
So this is group that all my Irish friends tell me about. Seems really cool.
Don't start your car
So: if I put away $10,000 for retirement, it doesn't get taxed when I put it away. But when I go to take it out, it gets taxed as income, at the future, (doubtless higher) tax rate. I'm not seeing the real benefit here over say, buying tangible property for future resale (IE, gold or real estate). Definitely makes the Roth variation all the more appealing.

You don't live in the U.S.

@@sohopedeco fairly sure it was the unification of northern ireland and the republic of ireland, not the independence of northern ireland
Yooooo
Once slight correct with Roth IRAs is that you CAN withdraw anything that you put into it at anytime without a penalty (not that you should, but you have the option). You just can't take out any EARNINGS without a penalty. This also makes a ROTH very attractive for people who are a bit gun-shy about investing in retirement.

short answer: the greatest paramilitary organization to ever exist
Some would think that a trump supporter wouldn't agree with a (mostly) socialist paramilitary movement. But theres an exemption. The provisional IRA broke away from the original IRA due to the original's larger focus on socialism.

The Roth IRA was enacted in 1997, I recall. I opened my Roth IRA account in 1998 with Janus with $2000, the limit at the time. Over the years, I contributed the maximum limits and saw them increase to $3000, then to $4000, then to $5000, and to $6000, and when I turned 50 I put in that extra $1000 and now I invest $7000 every year, and in the future will invest whatever the maximum will be. Janus is now Janus Henderson and the fund I invested in, Janus Twenty, is now the Janus Forty. Today I am 52 and that account is worth over a half a million.
Really?
You made it sound so simple!

Because of inflation a Roth is always better than a traditional IRA.
H T
Also because right now taxes are low and by the time we retire a democrat will have raised taxes.
It really depends on your situation. It’s not always better.
@@emilyspecter9532 Why not?
@@matthew8153 "Because of inflation a Roth is always better than a traditional IRA." That is not correct. Inflation affects Roth as much as traditional.
Remember that with a traditional IRA you will be required to take distributions. Meaning that if you live beyond the average life expectancy, that account will run dry 🤷♂️
That's right! Also you never know about future tax rates so Roth eliminates that risk for the most part.
Chris Invests - Personal Finance Videos you are correct that there are required minimum distributions from traditional IRA accounts, but they are recalculated every year so without defining what is “average life expectancy” I’m skeptical that anyone with a well funded IRA, properly invested, who withdraws *no more than* the required minimum distribution (RMD) will see the account go to zero. My mom lived to 91, took only the RMD, and the last 8 years of her life (the time I was tracking her finances) the account had a *higher* balance every year, despite the RMDs.
Also don’t forget you are taxed at earned income rates on traditional IRA withdrawals. You don’t get the low capital gains tax rates.
@@jpe1 *Chris Invests* notion that Traditional IRAs run out before Roth IRAs *doesn't* *make* *a* *lick* *of* *sense!*

Dear Two Cents and fellow viewers,
It is my goal to understand investing and finance. Could someone point me to any resources? Particularly, I get confused with the benefits and disadvantages between 401K, Roth IRA, regular IRA. Then there's pre tax and post tax. Very confusing. I hope I can learn the differences between them.
Why am I watching this. I don't even live in America 😂

I use a Roth IRA in partnership with my 401(k)! I hold only REITs that pay monthly dividends in my Roth IRA while I have an index fund and a target date fund in my 401(k); my philosophy is use the Roth IRA to generate a monthly income stream in retirement and the 401(k) is for general growth of the stock market
I clicked on this video thinking it was the Irish IRA but video was good anyway
In Ireland, an IRA Is VERY different

How timely! I just did my first back door roth contribution today!
You guys are so great! Thank you for your helpfulness!!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you withdraw whatever money you put into a Roth IRA at any age? I was informed that only captial gains need to remain invested until retirement.
This is true. You may withdraw your "basis" of your roth tax and penalty free at any age.
@@TwoCentsPBS What would that basis be?
Good question by the way @Alex
@@just_ice5296 Your "basis" is what you contributed.
This isnt the IRA i meant to learn about but y'know what? im here fuck it
I feel like I know way more about American economy, investment accounts and other financial stuff than about what's availabe in my country 😅.
Thank you guys! This help me a lot!
Why would someone want an IRA over a 401k? I still feel confused about what are the ups and downs of all of these. Roth, 401k and traditional IRA. And also how do the IRAs shelter you from taxes?
Yes!! I need the answer to what the difference is between an IRA and a 401k. What are the pros and cons of each? Do both?
401ks are great because they can have company matching, however, they often have limited investment options depending on the options provided to you. If you are looking for a wider range of stocks, mutual funds, index funds, etc. to choose from, IRAs are a great option.
@@taylorball4937 Also the expenses for an IRA tend to be less than ones for a 401k.
So, is it only for varied stock options(IRA) vs. Retirement plan from the company I'm working at(401ks)? How do IRAs shield one from certain taxes?
Would you recommend having both a Roth IRA/IRA and a 401k?
I think this was one of your best videos yet. Good job guys. I think you should have expanded a little bit on why it is beneficial to max out a Roth when you are young since most people don't understand taxes. For all the youngins out there, you're probably in the lowest tax bracket that you will ever be in (~10-20%) right now. When you are at retirement age, you will more than likely be making much more and in a higher bracket. i.e. pay less tax now instead of the future.
This is the opposite of your 401(k) that is funded through pre-tax dollars, so when you're mid-career and are in a higher tax bracket than you will be in at retirement you want to focus on the 401(k) first and then your Roth second. But for now, Roth first, 401(k) second. Also, look into a Roth 401(k) and see if that would be better suited for your situation.
whiteProductions Thanks for mentioning this! This is exactly why I started a Roth IRA this year. (Also there isn’t a 401k offered by my job)
@@MicahRion No problem! Look into a self/or solo 401(k) if you would still like a 401(k). I don't know what you do for a living but you may qualify for one!
This explains the difference really well, thank you!
This is just like the Canadian RRSP and TFSA
Hi all! I’m 23 years old and I have a part time minimum paying job. I’ve been wanting to start a Roth IRA for the past two years. However, all of my friends that I asked have told me to just wait when I have a higher paying job to open an account. Should I just wait or open one up now even if I’m only putting or $1,000 or $2,000 away each year?
simplyalmondeyes you should start early. Time and compound interest is the biggest part of saving for retirement.
Does this cover car insurance? Asking from Northern Ireland.
Side note to the video:
Run the numbers: Roth vs. Traditional
Assume tax rate is constant. (30%)
Assume constant 10% annual investment growth for simplicity
Traditional
Year1=$100
Year2=$110
Year3=$121
Year4=$133.1
Year5=$146.41
Tax at 30% = $102.49
IRA
Year1=$70
Year2=$77
Year3=$84.70
Year4=$93.17
Year5=$102.49
The only advantage to Roth is if you get taxed less when you invest than when you withdraw.
Also, when you are forced to withdraw funds from your IRA/401K when you are older you can control what tax bracket you land in.
Please do one on life insurance! Love you guys
You got yourself a new subscriber. Loved it!!!
The info is priceless...but that been said... is it just me or does him look like Ryan Gosling in some angles ?!? Am I losing my mind or not?!? Hahahahaha
I think that your channel is one of the most reliable about the personal finance topic. I'm 17 and even if i will star University soon i want to educate my self as much as possible about personal finance because i think that is one of the most important things in the life of every citizen .
