Is it better to save for retirement in traditional 401(k)s and IRAs, or in Roth accounts? That’s today on Your Money, Your Wealth® podcast 518 with Joe Anderson, CFP® and Big Al Clopine, CPA. Plus, what are the rules around contributing to two different types of Roth accounts? If required minimum distributions will be staggered because of a couple’s age difference, should they convert their retirement savings to Roth, or leave it alone? But first, Joe and Big Al have a backdoor Roth conversion withdrawal debate to settle.
