What rich people know about 401ks that most don't. They treat them like a trap. And here's why. 401ks made sense when tax rates were falling. But now, tax rates are likely going up. So why put pretax money in now, just to get taxed more later? The wealthy play…
What a 401k actually is. A 401k is not an investment. It's a tax label. It refers to a section of the IRS code. That's it. It just tells the government how your investment will be taxed. In a Roth 401k, you pay taxes now and it grows tax free.…

"I thought Roth conversions were supposed to save me money..." They are. Unless you do them wrong. And most people? Do them wrong. Three different ways. 1. They don’t do it at all. Because no one told them about it. Or worse — someone told them it “wasn’t worth it.”…
“But the tax rate will be the same later…” That’s what they said when you mentioned converting your 401(k) to a Roth. So you paused. Because on paper… the math seemed sound. Pay taxes now? Or later at the same rate? What’s the point? Here’s the thing: That logic is…
