Do You Have to Be Rich to Own What CPAs Call the ‘Rich Man’s Roth’?

Do you have to be rich to own what many savvy CPAs and even tax attorneys call the “rich man’s Roth”? This is a question that Doug Andrew occasionally hears from viewers of his YouTube channel. In this week’s episode, you’ll learn what this savings vehicle is and why it makes sense to so many.

One reason this question arises is because rich people cannot qualify for the tax-advantaged Roth IRA because they make too much money. There is however a savings vehicle Doug recommends that can provide the two major advantages of a Roth plus four additional benefits that the Roth does not have.

The two basic benefits of a Roth are 1.) the ability to take after-tax money that accumulates tax-free. And 2.) when you go to access that money, upon reaching retirement, you can then access it tax-free because you already paid the taxes up front. Doug explains the history of the Roth and then describes an ever better alternative you may wish to consider.
