Suze Orman was asked, “Suze, Let’s move to 401(k)s what is your thought on traditional 401(k) or Roth where the money comes out of the account untaxed but it is post tax dollars going in?”
Suze responded, “So, I am somebody who believes in what you see is what you should get. I am very afraid when you put your money into 401(k) or traditional IRA tax brackets to solve the problem have gone up and up and up. So, you see $300,000. But only $150,000 after taxes. I would take the hit now, pay my taxes now to know that in long run that the $300,000 in my account is all mine.”
