You have the financial skills of a 5 yr old.

 

Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars, and are generally tax-free when you receive distributions, so long as you meet the requirements and do not withdraw funds that are earned. If you withdraw funds before 59 1/2 yrs and it includes earned funds then you pay not only income tax on the funds but also a 10% penalty.

not to defend anyone here, but i'm not sure she means a roth ira. a roth 401k is different from a roth ira. i have a roth 401k and a traditional 401k that takes directly from my paycheck before i even get it, i do not have a roth ira.

Roth 401k comes out after taxes on your paycheck. traditional is before taxes.

401k are taken before tax and incur tax penalties at the time of withdrawl...ira is taxed and is in there for the long run.  401k can be rolled over to an ira.

Ah.

I was unaware that there was a Roth 401k. I simply assumed Fuggs was ignorantly lumping retirement account terms together. Go figure. :|
