welcome back to the morni using ro ira's for retirement can lower tax bills keep a bigger part of social security untaxed. these accounts have been around almost two decades, but our next guest says they are way underutilized. matthew holbrook is a representative with country financial here to explain why roth ira's must be a part of your retirement plan. great to see you. great to see you. that was a lot. >> that was a lot, but it's really important. thesre notut they might be new to some people.

know you know what that should be part of my plan.?@ but i don't knowt is and i don't kw how to take advantage of it. >> the easiest way i can explain it to think about for a triona ira a lot of people have those. that's money that has never been taxed. the roth ira you c go into ur wallet pull it out and put money into a roth ira. it is money that h been taxed and it grows tax free. it is fine,ou pay zero tax on there too and you have access to those contributions at any time >> you don't have to be retirement age? >> correct. your contributions you can touch. so like a traditional ira or 401(k) you can'tit w you rot can touch youributtrns not the growth. it acts as an emergency fund if mething should happen a need to access that. >> if are you younger than 5 9 1/2, and you access those funds then do you pay taxes on it? >> nope you do not. >> the only time you pay taxes this is important on a money you

tax you pay on that income or on >> it's steow t -zero tax. >> it is like you put it in no tax when you take it out that is wonderful. can everyone get a roth ira is everyone eligible? >> not everybody is. there are loopholes. the rule of thumb it is about 13 # thousand if you make that for a single filer or $196,000 if you are married if you make over $196,000 combined you cannot do it, but there is a back doo about that. if you don't have any other ira's outside of your retirement plan you can do a respect ira. you -- roth ira. you can do a traditional i ra then turn it into a roth. you can take $11,000 one day convert it into a roth ira. >> that is wonderful. at age 70 and a half, you were required by the government to take money out of your account. >> they want their taxes.

as it relates to a roth ira? >> for that with the traditional ira or a 401(k), the government is going to say age 70 and a half you have to pull that out. if you have about a million bucks, the government will say you have to take $40,000 because we want to get our taxes out of that. with a roth ira it is zero tax they don't make you take it out at 70 and a half. that's your money you already paid taxes they can't touch it. the taxes could go to 80% it doesn' no required minimum distribution at any age. >> correct. the nice thing when you take out money from a 401(k) or ira combined with social security benefits your social security benefits can be taxed. say you take $100,000 out of roth i ra and do social security you owe zero tax on your social security income. >> say you have a college student and let's say this college graduate was to max out his or her roth ira every year

age 23, and put in $5,500 a year, what would they have when they turn 65. >> so for that if you take a college student and then when they get to retirement age if they are the only thing they are doing is that roth ira assuming they don't ing increase contributions that's about $1.7 million. that's a lot of money. zero tax. if you have a 401(k) and ira with 1.7, you have that in only have 1.2 million because of the taxes you have to pay. >> that's amazing. >> now a lot of people are not college graduates they are not 23 they are quite a bit older than that. still a good idea to have a roth? >> very good idea. so a lot of companies what they are doing now is offering like a roth 401(k), or regular 401(k). so you can do both. a lot of people don't really know what they are doing. when they come to my office i show them let's do a mix here and a mix here a they say i

years ago. >> are you able to help council somebodyow much and fige out the amount. >> it depends on what you are making what your goals are what you want with retirement. your tax strategy. there is a lot that goes in there. the roth side of things it's a no brainer everybody should have it. i think 12% of people have them in the united states. so, it's very underutilized. >> it sounds like it. >> do you find people are more lakely t you? >> yeah they feel me out first. i know a lot of people including my wife, hi nikki, she says she loves that you say that because you can just send out that email and it takes a little bit of the fear out of it for that first conversation. >> i think so too. a lot of people have questions i think they feel silly about what the questions that they do have. it's wonderful that people c communice with you that way gann stted. because a lot of people

here's what you) need to do to contact matthew holbrook his office is on north oakland avenue in shorewood. give him a call at (414)332-2137 aor send e e too matthew.holbrook@country financial.com. >> it's a long email. >> its, i but worthutting it toee you.>> tha?>nk you so much. upn t show how you can help earn your favorite
