Roth nerds never account for investing the tax savings in a taxable brokerage.

Good afternoon and happy new year coach

The real question is...what do we do if the government no longer respects the tax free growth/distributions of the Roth accounts in the future...it is a realistic possibility, especially as they continue to dig the country into more and more debt and continue fiat money practices/money printing. Remember it used to be a crime to hold physical gold in this country.

Then you would pay tax on the growth, just like Traditional. But even then, the government would most likely grandfather past Roth investments. Besides, the government just recently added Roth to the military’s TSP retirement plan, so I’m not worried about it going away anytime soon.
