Date: January 18th, 2018 10:48 AM Author: Brass vibrant crackhouse electric furnace people were saying a year ago, two years ago, etc. that not only would the market not continue to go up, it was overdue for a correction.
anyone who acted on that advice has missed out bigly.
the market will correct, but who the fuck knows when. just keep to your investment strategy. you cannot time the market. |

Date: January 18th, 2018 11:16 AM Author: Brass vibrant crackhouse electric furnace i don't get what you mean. do you mean you should invest the same money after you have paid taxes on it? you will then pay taxes on dividends, etc., as it grows and then on the realized gains when you withdraw it. you are also going to pay income tax and not capital gains tax if you use after-tax money, which likely is higher.
why not shield it from taxes now and get the benefit of the deduction? moreover, you are much more likely to be in a lower tax bracket when you retire than you are in now, unless you work some poor shitjob. |

interestingly, i never had that option until i came to biglaw, but i don't think at my salary doing the roth 401k makes sense. i do max backdoor roths for my wife and me, though. |
