Doctors, when it comes down to it, retirement is likely going to be the most expensive purchase of your lives. As a business that deals directly with doctors’ personal financial concerns, we get many questions: “Will I have enough money to retire?”, “When will I run out?”, etc. But one question we don’t get very often, that should be asked is: “Is my money positioned in the right type of accounts?” Today we will discuss the different types of retirement accounts, their tax consequences, and how to get the most out of them when it really matters.
William Roth created the Roth IRA in 1997 as a tax-free retirement investment. This investment will grow tax-free and can’t be taken out until you have reached 59 1/2 years of age. There are no RMDs (Required Minimum Distribution), so you can wait and let that money keep growing, even after you reach the minimum age to start taking money out. If you do this, you can keep making contributions up until 70 1/2 years old.
