Is Investing in a Roth a Bad Idea?

Candid Conversations: Retirement Talk with Ryan Cravitz

Send us a Text Message.

We came across an article recently that would get anyone’s attention when they’re trying to save for retirement. The headline said this person lost $400k in a Roth 401(k) and warned others about the risk as well. While this headline could very easily be characterized as clickbait, we wanted to explore it a little further and see how much truth was in these numbers.
Here's some of what we’ll discuss in this episode:

• Ryan’s favorite show growing up and which Olympic sport would he have the best chance at winning a medal.
• An example of someone in their mid-50s who might benefit from a traditional 401k versus someone who might benefit more from a Roth.
• Why we start with income planning to determine how much we need and what taxes might look like in retirement.
• What are the best ways to financially help a child with their new grandchild?
• Should you park your money in cash if you know a lot of life changes are coming up?
