Traditional IRA vs. Roth IRA – Which one is better?

In this episode, Danette explores the decision between investing in a Traditional IRA, which offers immediate tax deductions but taxes gains upon withdrawal, and a Roth IRA, which doesn't provide tax deductions on contributions, but offers tax-free gains.

She discusses the pros and cons of each option and the benefits of a Roth conversion for those who are not eligible for direct Roth contributions.

The episode delves into the strategies for managing taxes during a Roth conversion, including staggered conversions and using non-IRA funds to cover the tax liability.

Danette emphasizes the potential benefits of converting during market downturns and the implications of recent legislative changes.

Danette recommends consulting with a financial advisor to determine the best retirement savings strategy based on individual circumstances, whether it involves Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, or Roth conversions.
