发帖数: 361 | 7 Max out matching 401k already. Is it still a good idea to open a ROTH IRA?
P.S.: new employee as well. |
K****D
发帖数: 30533 | 8 Yes.
Unlike 401k, it is very simple to answer the question "should I
contribute to Roth IRA": *ALWAYS* yes while you can.

发帖数: 30533 | 11 Always, "while you can". This means:
1) You are allowed by IRS to contribute.
2) You can afford to contribute (no debt, living concerns).

发帖数: 30533 | 14 hoho, correct. I missed that situation.
In fact, if one plans to return to China, it's better not to open any
retirement account just to save the hassle.

发帖数: 361 | 15 So gains in ROTH IRA account are tax exempt (one big pro), but similar to
401k, I cannot take a penny out without penalty before a certain age (65?).
Am I correct? |
K****D
发帖数: 30533 | 16 You can take money out of IRA, although I personally would never consider
that as my reason to contribute to Roth IRA (it's totally not worth doing
that).
The age is 59.5, the same as 401k.
The difference is, you can take your principal out at any time without
penalty in Roth.

发帖数: 361 | 17 After age 59.5, can I drain the IRA account at one time without paying any
taxes? (imagining a lot of $$$$$$)
P.S.: hopefully the policy about ROTH IRA won't change much during the
following 30-something years.

发帖数: 30533 | 20 I hope you won't feel that way, //sigh.
You are basically gaining nothing by doing that, unless:
1) you expect your tax rate to rise significantly in the future, and yet
2) you will need money urgently under condition 1), i.e., you need money
although your income is much higher.

发帖数: 361 | 21 Thanks KennyD! Now my question left is where to open an account and how to
invest using those thousands of dollars in IRA. :0
BTW, I guess investment professionals have certain restrictions on
investment even with IRA account. |
