let's talk about this roth 401k ira idea that's new. what's happening there exactly? > >about half of employers that offer 401k plans also offer what's known as the roth 401k. which is just basically another option for people when they're making their contributions. rather than putting in the money before it's taxed and then having to pay takes in retirement when you take it out the roth is the opposite of that. you pay taxes now, but the withdrawals in retirement are tax free. > >but doesn't that mean a big hit up front for some people? > >if you're looking at converting some of your existing 401k balance into the roth 401k yes you will pay a big tax because all that money that previously hadn't been taxed now gets treated as taxable income. so i think that's going to be a hindrance to a lot of people being able to take advantage of it because you have to pay those taxes with money outside the 401k for it to really pay off. > >what are some other places then to put money? > >look at an ira. a lot of people think its either or between a 401k and an ira but the reality

it is just so great to be up here to see the name roth being honored in this fashion. we've had an association and a very close relationship with the roth family, both senior and junior and it thrills my heart because i came in as a crazy drug addict, didn't know anything about anything. and through their efforts i found out that there was really, real issues going on in life besides drugs and crime and prison that we were all involved with. and our minds were opened. we were able to support, learn, and be educated in how to stand up for the right things in life. one thing that i can say about the roth family, they didn't stand up for bull s., that whenever an issue was right, that's what they stood for. whether it was popular or not popular. a lot of times they caught a lot of heat for it but it didn't matter to them because they believed in doing what was right for the people that were in need of that. it was just again great to see that that name is being honored today. >> thank you.
