Since 401ks were created in 1978, more than $7 trillion has been saved in 401k accounts. Trillions more have already been rolled over into traditional IRAs. Today’s 401k retirement system replaced the pension system from a generation before. Your parents likely grew up and retired in a very different world than you will. Instead of large pensions, ...
20 years after 401ks were created, a new type of retirement account was born – The Roth IRA. Unlike traditional IRAs, or your 401k, all money that goes into a Roth IRA is after-tax.

When determining the optimal amount of IRA assets to convert to a Roth IRA, we typically target an amount that would “fill up” a specific tax bracket. F...
Roth conversions are not the right strategy for everyone and, like any investing decision, there are potential risks. Since performing IRA conversions means paying taxes today, you are making a bet that future tax rates do not decline significantly in the future. If tax rates were to fall, it may mean you could convert or withdrawal assets at a low...
