@budgeters_anonymous: Replying to @Dustin Bell That sounds unusually high based on the actual tax brackets that exist in the real world. #retirementplanning #retirement #investing
Okay so don’t eat, pay your bills, or drive. Instead max out your 401k. Got it 👌

And now everything’s in pre tax accounts, no thanks. Gimme the Roth IRA instead

401k lowers your taxable income for that year but years later, 401k withdrawals in retirement are taxable. So you’re only kicking the can down the road

You can’t do a traditional Roth and get tax benefits if you have a 401k.

Trevor Grondin :
i get what you’re trying to say, but if the goal is to save $51k in taxes, but you do that by reducing your available income by half, is that really a life hack?

Only 2 things are guaranteed in life. Death and taxes. Do a Roth and pay the taxes on the seed not the harvest.

Nice so they won’t get taxed, but they also can’t afford to live. Great strategy
