Funny thing…
My money guy was pushing the ROTH back when it first came out, and I laughed at him and said they will end up taxing it twice, front and back, just wait.
I thought the same way, and every time I hear serious proposals for a VAT or even a federal sales tax, I think that would surely capture a lot of money from Roth IRAs.
I funded my 401(k), converted to an IRA when I retired, and have done OK. Instead of a Roth, I bought rental real estate. A lot of tax advantages, and there is real diversification from Wall Street types of investment. Plus, I could add sweat equity which is not taxed. An often-overlooked method of increasing my investment without ever having to produce declarable income.
OTOH, I can see where a Roth might have some advantages.
