Two points to consider

回答: 关于Roth IRA 的问题,Tendy2018-12-27 08:24:20

1.  Roth IRA doesn't have mandatory withdrawal at 70 1/2 

In 401k and traditional IRA there is a mandatory withdraw rule at 70 1/2 years old.  No such rule in Roth IRA so you can keep the money longer. 

This is particularly true for high savers such as Chinese people. 

2. tax rate advantage. 

from 2018 to 2025, for eight years, income tax rate is lowered by the trump tax cut.  After 2025 the tax cut expires.  So from 2018 to 2025 is a good time to load up on Roth IRA because tax rate will go up in the future.

Roth IRA在2018-2025年肯定有好处,2025年以后如果你不工作了,那么我们的讨论也没有了。 -柠檬椰子汁- 给 柠檬椰子汁 发送悄悄话 柠檬椰子汁 的博客首页 (18613 bytes) () 12/27/2018 postreply 16:02:00

可401K 要转Roth IRA 要先扣税的吧? 那我得想想看。我比你想象的要老, 2025年肯定不工作了。 -Tendy- 给 Tendy 发送悄悄话 Tendy 的博客首页 (0 bytes) () 12/27/2018 postreply 17:44:11
