Jill on Money Radio Show: Roth or Pre-Tax, Which Is Better?

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Just like last week, no guest in hour two this week. A few segments of calls and a few segments of answering emails. The old school approach continues for at least another week :) Reminds me of when we started this little adventure back in 2011!

First up is Jason from DC who’s wondering if he can afford to make a career change, as well as mix in a bit of international travel, all during a pandemic.

Then we chatted with Tony from Buffalo who had a few mortgage/real estate related questions as he and his wife plan out their future dream home.

Nothing like helping settle a friendly, sisterly debate about who’s right when it comes to using a Roth IRA. One sister says yes, Roth all the way! The other says not so fast, I think pre-tax is the way to go. Is there a winner?
