Episode 3351:


Philip Taylor explains how the Roth IRA offers powerful tax advantages for retirement savers, especially those who want more flexibility, investment control, and tax-free withdrawals. Unlike traditional accounts, Roth contributions are made with after-tax dollars, meaning you can withdraw both your contributions and earnings tax-free in retirement, making it a smart option for many earners seeking long-term growth and financial security.
