This was really helpful, too bad my husband did not know this when he invested in the traditional ira; his heart was in the right place though.
I recently converted the traditional to a roth, and the taxes were high..really high. The other thing was that I had to use another source to pay the taxes;
they could not be paid from the money in the traditional ira. That was a hard pill to swallow.

Thank you for making this so understandable. You sound like a smart kid…you go!!! I don’t care about the grammer…in my book you did something really good for all of us who need answers. I’m not so hot in grammer either, but I’m a little smarter because of you.

Grammer,shrammer! Using the word “dumb” means the person is deaf not necessarily stupid but applies to the grammer slammer.Best to keep thy head tucked between your legs where it belongs & if anyone needs your advise they won’t ass-k.You are usually the guy hiding in the corner of social gatherings,invited out of pity, who has conversations with himself. Jesse did a great job with nice graphics to boot & thank you.

Why is that guy bustin your chops over grammatical errors, I think he is jealous of your intellect. There is always somebody out there to try to tear another person down “Yo”

Very good article and very easy to understand. This article really made me understand the difference between Roth and traditional IRA. Simple spelling mistakes has nothing to do in the financial world as long as you understand the subject matter. Thanks again for the good article.

I think this was a great article so thanks for posting it out in cyberland. To the horse’s ass grading the gramatical content of this article most of us don’t start out “beating up” someone for their grammar by addressing them as “dude”. In financial matters I would rather have someone who makes a few errors, grammar wise, than a few errors with my finances. Did you acutally get anything out of the article or did you print it and take out your red pen and make merry with yourself while grading it?

Thank you so very much for this. This helped my wife and I decide what kind of IRA to choose. We are both 25 and want to get a jump on this ASAP but werent sure which is the best for us, but as you put it, “I am a poor college student….I expect my tax rate to go up..” You seriously read my mind.

T B, you are an idiot wrapped in a moron. Obviously you do not know everything, that is why you searched and found this link to learn more about IRA savings. Jesse is kind enough to dumb it down. It is ungrateful people like you who just can’t simply say “thank you” for having benefited from others.

Jesse, THANK YOU and great job! I learned a great deal. I have now contacted a financial advisor to get going on saving…..time is money…lol.

T B you are “simply” an idiot. The whole point of this demonstration is to educate people about the difference between ROTH IRAs and TRADITIONAL IRAs, not on english. I felt this helped me better understand the way the IRAs work, which is the whole point of clicking on this link. Next time you try and give people lessons on english, think about how ignorant you are for trying to make someone feel dumb when they are simply helping you understand something you are seeking guidance for.

Speaking for us everyday, common people who cares about the grammar errors, I was more interested in the subject matter which was easy to understand, thank you.
