like, the idea is that you save money while getting a tiny bit of interest but also can avoid tax. how much tax? depends on when you pay. what will that be? who knows!

what will the tax rate be in 50 years? will i be rich when im 65? will i be poor when im 65?

or will i be fucking dead

this shit is a scam. im just going to buy bitcoin fuck banks

depends on your income level and how much you set aside.

im not sure what you're asking here.

how is investment a "scam"? assuming your other financial needs are met, the only downside is that you're unable to enjoy your money now because, as you said, there's a chance you could die before you retire.

this post is not helpful. what's the point of this other than to take a dig at TC?

That's the spirit. Retirement accounts for are people who are too risk adverse and don't put in the time to learn about investing.

Wow.

Tell me you don't know a thing about investing without telling me you don't know a thing about investing.

nah, Bezos is a dick. i just really don't like working.

i've been fortunate enough to be able to save for retirement since i was 23. i've watched the magic of investment grow my money over the last 15 years.

If you have a retirement account, but invest in it, then sure. Its not THAT useful.

But the idea is to invest to have gains that wont be taxed. That is a massive advantage.

A roth, for example, is already taxed contributions. But any interest or gains you make in the account from investing are tax free (so long as you wait five years and other eligibility requirements.).

Traditional will tax everything later. But imo, the easiest way to simply things.

Think youll have more income later as opposed to today? Roth.

Think youll have more income now as opposed to later? Traditional.

Theres business retirement accounts and other types, but you should ask questions instead of being frustrated, TC. Most of it is actually kinda simple.

you're free to overpay on your taxes, the IRS won't reject the extra income.
