Thanks for the post. The Roth IRA conversion strategy is a good one. There are still too many people out there who don’t use the Roth IRA. If you have a 401(k) through work, that money is tax-deferred. The Roth is really the best compliment to the 401(k) if you can put more money in to retirement savings.

Unfortunately, I believe that the reason more people don’t have Roths are that they don’t want to pay taxes now – and want the tax credit for savings they are able to put into an IRA. We live in a society that lives for “right now” and Roth isn’t a “right now” type of account.

Please let me know if I can help with a Roth IRA. Roths are discussed in my upcoming book. “Help! My 401(k) Has Fallen – And Must Get Up!”
