    Roth IRA vs Roth 401(K)...Where Should You Put Your Money?

    Download my slide deck here!: https://matsorensen.com/resources/ Looking to take control of your retirement and want to use your IRA or 401K dollars to invest in alternative assets? Book a call with my team at Directed IRA to get started: https://directedira.com/appointment/?utm_source=live&utm_medium=youtube&utm_campaign=wohl_rothira_roth401k In Part 2 of the Roth IRA Mastery Course, I break down the key differences between a Roth IRA and a Roth 401(k) so you can decide where to put your money for maximum long-term, tax-free wealth. We cover contribution limits, the core tax rules that make Roth accounts the most powerful retirement vehicle available, and the critical differences in withdrawal flexibility between the two accounts. We also walk through income limits on Roth IRA contributions, the backdoor Roth IRA strategy for high earners, and how to use both a Roth 401(k) and a Roth IRA at the same time to maximize every tax-free dollar you can legally protect. One of the most underutilized strategies we cover is self-directing your Roth account — instead of being limited to stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, you can invest your Roth dollars into real estate, private companies, private equity, and crypto. An IRA can invest in these alternative assets as long as it is held at a custodian like Directed IRA.
