[McFurd]

USA Today - Sean Rossman - 3/6/2017 - The debate over Roth vs. Traditional IRA accounts, and which one is better, comes down to two things, mostly: flexibility and taxes.

She prefers the Roth to the Traditional IRA for people at all stages of their career. In a Roth, the benefit stems from the fact the money already is taxed, so it's able to grow tax-free.

However, it will be taxed when it is drawn in retirement. Read more @ http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/nat ... /97279898/
