6 Roth IRA Myths That Are Damaging Your Tax Plan
In this video, Eric breaks down some of the biggest myths about Roth IRAs that could be quietly sabotaging your retirement plan. From the overhyped “seed vs. harvest” soundbite to the often-misunderstood rules around Roth accessibility, conversions, and RMDs, these oversimplified takes can actually cost you money. The truth? There’s no magic in “tax-free growth.” What really matters is the tax rate you pay today versus the tax rate you’ll face in retirement. And with the right strategy, retirees can use both Roth and traditional accounts together to minimize taxes, maximize flexibility, and keep more of their hard-earned money.
