Oh... Please share...



Bet he is gonna say real estate

Oh no I wasn’t saying that there actually are any. I was saying that could be a reason for low 401k numbers.

I will say that my financial advisor has us maxing out our Roth IRA’s before putting any more into a 401k.


Hell... "Maxing out" your Roth IRA is only $5500 a year! $5500 a year ain't going to get you through retirement. Sure Roth IRA's are not taxed when you pull the money out, but you're putting in way less money to start with so you have less money earning less interest over the life of the account. I'll put money in my Roth after I max out my 401k. Which for me is going to be $25,000 per year.
