Should I Contribute to My Roth 401K?
So, why use the Roth 401k option? Well, there is no tax benefit today BUT it allows this money to grow tax free (assuming certain rules are met) and there are no Required Minimum Distributions to worry about (See Rick’s Tip #1). You can leave this money in as long as you live. And, if you are married, you can leave this account to your spouse, and they can leave the money in to continue to grow over their life.
