Today we’re taking a look at the legendary Roth IRA. Hailed as the #1 retirement investment account in the world, I want to explore what it is exactly, and why I don’t personally have one. So – what is a roth ira?

I share with you my robinhood app account and show you my dividend growth strategy for early retirement. Before discovering this strategy, I used vanguard’s roth ira and I invested into index funds but I’ve always been fascinated on how not to pay taxes.

So a roth ira is a “tax advantaged account”. Originally known as the ira plus, the maximum limit on contributions was just $2000 and limited to people with very low incomes. Nowadays, the roth ira has a maximum income cap limit. However, a roth ira itself is NOT an investment.

A roth ira is an account that contains the tax advantaged investments themselves. For example, you can put growth stocks, dividend stocks, mutual funds, bonds, CDs, and cash inside of this investment account. The idea is that you can pay taxes on your income now, and withdraw your money post capital appreciation absolutely tax free.

However, there are pros and cons to holding and investing within a roth ira for someone in my position. Today I want to properly explain this retirement account and show you the advantages and the disadvantages of having a roth ira

    Dude. Love your content but this doesn’t make any sense. Just throw your chump change into the Roth. You’ll be happy you did. You’re also steering lots of young people into the worst mistake they could make… not using Roth early. Irresponsible vlogging man.

    Pov. You watch this video at 401k views and you laugh a little bit.

    Lmao. That V sauce impression was magic.

    There are multiple types of tax-advantaged accounts. Seven I can think of right now. The CW is to max these out before opening a brokerage account. FYI for newbies in the comments.

    What an amazing video Andrei. By far the best Finance Youtube Channel in history.

    Summary: If you're saving for a house, or will need lots of money for the near future, don't tie it up in a ROTH IRA.
    If you're self-employed, making over 122,000 a year, you can't (by the rules) contribute to a ROTH IRA.
    If you're a regular person, with either an employer, or self-employed, and CAN wait until the not-so-near future, then you are probably better off keeping your money in a ROTH IRA, and have a separate account for other savings and financial goals that are near term.
    (sidenote: If you have a ROTH IRA, only your contributions are okay to withdraw early with no penalty)

    Conclusion: Most people are A- okay with a ROTH IRA.

    Love your channel Andrei! Keep it coming!

    Why would I listen to your advise on Roth if you don’t know what bonds are? Everyone should have Roth IRA and start young .. saving the money instead of spending it on stupid things .. it adds up quickly

    This video is great! I appreciate why you would not do an IRA investment, but I met the criteria you described as a perfect match for a Roth. I am more educated and feel much more confident in making my decision. Thanks again!

    "otherwise, I won't eat this month…" Made me laugh haha

    Min 0:01 you said you don't have any investments on IRA or Roth IRA… MIn 8:05 You said "I don't have my mayor investments in one (IRA)". So you are actually laying. You actually have some investments in an IRA Account. You are only interested in people watching your videos but not really on saying the true. Gotchat!!

    You should read up on your legal studies/accounting my guy.. the government is not revenue constrained.. i.e. nominal tax levels have no relation to the ability/future ability of the federal government to spend… i.e it losing revenue from R-IRA's doesn't matter to the gov's ability to finance itself

    This man does not know the difference between a 401k and an IRA.

    I'm totally not giving up tax free growth. Why would you?
