Book Description
This book aims to provide a comprehensive analysis, with data simulations, of: 1) when investing in a Roth 401(k) or Roth IRA would be a better choice than investing in a traditional pretax 401(k) or IRA; 2) when a Roth conversion would be beneficial to an investor. A unique discovery from the analysis and formulas derived in the book is that Roth can still be a better option even if your future tax brackets are lower than your current tax brackets, depending on your investment time horizon. The hope is that an investor can utilize the formulas and data contained in this book when making strategic decisions on choosing between a Roth 401(k) and pretax 401(k) or between a Roth IRA and traditional IRA, or deciding whether to do a Roth conversion. Making a correct decision could potentially lead to tens or hundreds of thousands of more dollars in their retirement investment.

Book Description
Up-to-Date Roth and Investing Insights Investment vehicles like a Roth IRA and any employer sponsored Roth option you may be offered should definitely be part of your investment plan for retirement. If you don't have an investment plan for retirement, Best Roth! will help you come up with one that minimizes your risk and maximizes your profits. If you have a Roth option in your 401(k), 403(b), 457, 401(a), or other defined contribution plan at work-fantastic. Not all employers offer a Roth option. (Some offer no option at all.) By all means, take advantage, but you'll still want to open up and fund a Roth IRA for a variety of reasons. Take advantage of all the tax breaks that Uncle Sam gives you. Why? Everything else being equal, you'll earn a higher rate of return in tax advantaged accounts than you would in regular taxable ones. As you invest over the years, returns are amplified by those advantages. These investment vehicles are the low hanging fruit as far as your retirement savings goes. You've got to max them out the best you can and integrate them into a single investment plan for retirement. Combine that tax advantaged plan with low investing fees and you've got one of the most effective investing tools on the planet. Jumpstart Your Prosperity Are you a novice investor who's just getting started? Maybe you want to help your kids save for retirement and become more financially literate? Best Roth! provides the information and insight to jumpstart your prosperity and get you on the road to financial freedom. Roth investments enjoy tax free earnings. The longer your time horizon for investment, the more you'll benefit from tax free earnings. As the years go by, you'll add other pre-tax (traditional) investments to the mix, which will also add value to your investment plan. The trick is to integrate all of those tax advantaged accounts into a single investment plan. Over the Income Limits for Contributing to a Roth IRA? Think you can't contribute to a Roth IRA because you're over the income limits? Think again. In fact, you may be able to fund your Roth IRA on a yearly basis well above the contribution limits. It's a little trick I like to call the 'Ole Roth IRA Switcheroo. It may sound a little sneaky and underhanded, but it's totally legit. You may be able to execute a switcheroo from your employer's retirement account, a traditional IRA, or both. I update this book every year so you're assured of receiving the most up-to-date tax and employer retirement plan information that will help keep you one step ahead of the pack. Best Roth! Answers All of Your Roth Questions As a financial educator at corporations, universities, and municipalities, I get asked all kinds of Roth oriented questions. I take pride in explaining even the most complex issues in easy to understand language. Here's a sampling: Can I tap my Roth IRA before age 59 1/2 without tax or penalty? My employer offers both a traditional and Roth option. Should I be making Roth or traditional contributions? Should I roll my old company plan into my present employer's plan or an IRA? My employer offers a Roth option: Why should I still invest in a Roth IRA? Are there any downsides to converting after-tax non-Roth contributions to my Roth IRA from my company's plan or from a traditional IRA? I'm interested in converting money to a Roth IRA. How much tax will I owe, and when is the best time to do it? Max Out Tax Advantaged Accounts Start maximizing your earnings by adding Roth accounts to your investing lineup for retirement.
