Talk:Investing/Tax advantaged investing

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

well, my ongoing pitch to see better explained potential pitfalls with tax-deferred investing. The easy way to get the thrust is to take the tax return of someone with children and mortgage interest, and re-run the return eliminating the child dependents and mortgage int (simulating home being paid off for retirement). Essentially I think MANY investors will be surprised that their tax bracket/liability will not go down in retirement, very possibly go up. Thus, post-tax investing becomes very attractive (eg Roth IRA), max these out before other pre-tax options.--Billymac00 (talk) 06:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
