Imagine you're saving money for retirement! This news talks about a smart way to manage your retirement savings. It explains how a special type of retirement account, called a Roth IRA, can help you pay less taxes later in life. It's all about planning ahead.
- Traditional IRAs need you to take money out when you get older, and you pay taxes on that money.
- A Roth IRA lets you avoid those extra taxes, but you pay taxes now when you put the money in.
- It's best to move money slowly into a Roth IRA, bit by bit, to avoid a big tax bill.
