    Hi I was just terminated from my job that I have a 401k with. I have a loan against my 401k but won’t be able to pay it off in the next few months. Should I take all my money out since there is no penalty now due to Covid and payoff the loan? Should I rollover to an ira? Please help

    Yes always Roth tax free money

    Covert it all to Roth early in retirement. Then you have 100% in Roth and no taxes the rest of your life.

    I wish you talked just a little bit more about those of us who rolled over 401K money to Rollover IRA and have pro rata liability.

    Brian/Bo, great content, thanks for the advice.

    Question, my employer does not offer Roth 401K. They offer a Traditional 401k with up-to 4% match and/or a taxable 401k that can grow tax deferred with no match. If I took advantage of the taxable 401k I could do a in service rollover to backdoor Roth these funds but i would receive a 6 month penalty on the match and would lose the match for 6months on the Traditional 401k account and this would be allowed once a year.

    My thoughts/question is would it make sense to contribute 4% to the traditional 401k account and contribute the rest up to the max allowed to the taxable account and do a backdoor Roth conversation sometime shortly before I retire? My fear is if I did this do you think laws on backdoor Roth conversions could change in the future and prevent me from doing the backdoor Roth? Or I can do the backdoor Roth conversions a few times before I retire and convert the funds in chunks but then it would cost me more on the match penalty.

    Your thoughts?

    Also, I already have a separate Roth IRA that I max out.

    Looking forward to hearing your opinions. Thanks!

    In the excitement to do Roth Conversions, don’t overlook his statement about having assets in each of the 3 buckets for tax treatment. There are advantages to a traditional 401k so you don’t have to rollover all of it.

    I've learned the Federal and State tax rules as they apply to my situation. I'm in retirement now and I have spreadsheets to estimate my income. Using an online tax estimator site, I can judge how much Roth conversions and capital gains will give me the optimum tax benefit. Not the lowest taxes but the best overall rates.

    I am opening Roth and will max out every year for 10 or more years. I rolled over 401k to IRA. I am 54 yrs old.

    Your 88x advice convinced me to open a custodial Roth for my 16 year old in his first job. I'm matching his contributions. I'm telling him this money might be with 100x when he retires. I'm also doing a back door Roth for myself at work

    Thanks for these video ❤️ it really helps well I will also say this here as much as I have been successful in stock so far, I also advice we get involved with bitcoin trading mostly now that the market is very bullish and profitable if you trade with a working strategy/daily signals.
