Roth IRA: The EASIEST Way To Become A MILLIONAIRE





 So in this video we're gonna be talking
about the easiest way to become a millionaire,
and that is through the use of a tool called
the Roth IRA.
Now, I know a lot of you guys
are already familiar with this investment vehicle,
but I'm hoping for those of you
that are completely new to it
to explain to you guys how powerful this is
and why this is in my opinion the easiest way
to generate a massive amount of wealth for yourself.
But before I get into that,
I want to explain the concept here
of the fast lane path to becoming a millionaire
versus the slow lane path.
And I think a lot of people who watch these videos
about how to become a millionaire
are always looking for that fast lane path.
And, in my opinion, the fast lane path
for becoming a millionaire is starting your own business
or having some kind of investment in yourself,
and I have absolutely no problem with that.
I've invested in myself, I've started my own online business
and so I totally get that strategy
of the fast lane life and if that's something you want to do
you have the fast lane path to becoming a millionaire,
I think you should totally follow that path.
But if you are interested in a slower path
to becoming a millionaire, which is through long-term
investing, that is exactly what I'm going
to teach you in this
video.
So there are three different components here
involved with this process.
Number one is a fee free Roth IRA.
I'm gonna give you guys an option at the end here
of a fee free Roth IRA.
Number two, the second piece of this
is regular contributions to this account,
where you're contributing money on a weekly
or monthly or yearly basis.
And then number three is simply time,
allowing your money to have time to grow,
I'm sure a lot of us are familiar
with compound interest which is where you're able
to earn interest on your interest,
and that is how billionaires like Warren Buffet
have generated massive amounts of wealth for themselves,
is because of that compounding effect
and earning interest on the interest
that you've already earned.
So first of all let's go ahead and answer
the question here of what is a Roth IRA.
A Roth IRA is a type of IRA which is
an individual retirement account,
and most people confuse it with the 401(k).
They say, well, I already have a 401(k),
so why would I need this Roth IRA?
Well, the 401(k) is a an employer-sponsored
retirement plan, and not all people
are offered a 401(k) based on your job.
A lot of people in the service industry
are not offered 401(k)s because they are not
technically employed by anybody,
they're just getting paid for their services.
So not everybody has this option for a 401(k),
those things can be loaded with fees
and they may not actually be the best investment for you.
Now, with that 401(k) you are putting away money tax-free,
you're taking money that you haven't paid tax on
and you're shelling it into your 401(k)
and then when you've reached retirement age
and begin to draw from that account,
you're paying taxes down the road.
So it's basically like a tax-deferred account,
you're gonna pay taxes later when you're taking money out.
The Roth IRA, on the hand, is completely different.
with the Roth IRA, you're taking money,
you're taking your post-tax income,
money you've already paid taxes on,
putting it into this account,
but the beauty is that when you draw from this account
once you've reached retirement age,
you're paying no taxes on that.
So basically with the Roth IRA you're paying
a small amount of taxes now to avoid taxes later,
versus the 401(k) where you're avoiding
a small amount of tax today
and paying a large tax bill down the road.
Now the important thing to remember here
is that because this is an IRA,
this is retirement account,
it is meant for retirement savings,
and the age for withdrawal at this point is 59 1/2
for any earnings from the Roth IRA.
So basically any contributions you make
into a Roth IRA, you can withdraw
without paying any taxes or penalties,
but if you take out any of the earnings
from a Roth IRA, you're gonna pay taxes
as well as a penalty.
So if you decide to put money into a Roth IRA,
this isn't the kind of thing where you're gonna change
your mind two years from now and empty out that account,
otherwise you're going to pay taxes
and penalties on the earnings or the interest
that you earned from that account,
not the amount that you originally contributed.
And on the other hand, if you were to dip
into a 401(k) early, you're going to pay taxes
and you're gonna have a penalty
on any amount that you withdraw
because that's money that you haven't already paid taxes on.
So the amazing thing about the Roth IRA
is that it essentially allows you
to pay zero taxes on potentially decades
of compounding interest based on when you start.
A 20-year-old could basically have their money
compounding for the next 40 years,
earning interest on interest every single year,
paying absolutely no taxes on that income
through the use of the Roth IRA.
And a lot of people make this mistake
of investing through a taxable account
and they don't realize that you can direct a Roth IRA
and put whatever you want into that.
You can hold individual stocks, you can hold index funds,
it doesn't necessarily have to be just a mutual fund
that you're investing in through the Roth IRA,
all you are doing is making the decision
of I don't want to pay taxes on this income,
and so you are basically putting it
in that tax sheltered account
and growing that money for yourself later on in life.
So how much can you contribute to a Roth IRA?
Well, if you are under 50 years old,
you can contribute, as of the current tax laws,
$5,500 per year, and if you are 50 and up
they allow you to have a catch up period
where you can contribute another $1,000 on top of that
or $6,500 per year.
So now the burning question you have is,
how do you become a tax-free millionaire
following this strategy?
So let's say for example you contributed $5,500 per year,
you maxed out your Roth IRA contribution
from age 20 to age 60.
Now, I know a lot of people are gonna stop me right there
and say, where am I gonna get $5,500?
And the first thing I want to tell you
is a lot of people get a tax refund
at the end of the year, and for most people
that is anywhere from two to $3,000.
So if you committed to putting that into your Roth IRA
as opposed to spending it on a vacation
or just dumping it into your checking account
and God knows where it goes,
that could be a way that you find
a large amount of the money that's gonna go
into that Roth IRA is just by putting your tax refund aside
and allowing that money to grow tax-free.
But let's say you find a way to maximize your contribution
every year, at an 8% return,
which is basically the average return
from the stock market over the last 100 years,
well, over those 40 years,
you will have contributed $219,840,
but how much money have earned
through compound interest at that 8% return?
You've earned $1,203,934.63.
So your total there, after those 40 years
is just about 1.4 million dollars,
$1,423,774.63,
and how much did you pay in taxes?
Zero.
You didn't pay any money in taxes
because you already paid taxes
on the money that you contributed.
Now, let's compare that on the other hand
to somebody who followed the exact same strategy,
had the same contribution, the same 8% compounded return,
but they did this through a taxable account.
They will have to pay long-term capital gains tax
on that $1,203,934.63,
and based on the current tax laws,
for most people that's going to be a 15%
long-term capital gains tax rate.
They would have a tax bill of $180,590.19
so this is the price people pay
by making this mistake of not investing
through a Roth IRA and investing through a taxable account,
that right there could be a potentially $200,000 mistake
by not investing through a Roth IRA
and keeping yourself tax sheltered.
And this right here is a way that you can allow yourself
to become a tax-free millionaire
by maximizing your contributions to a Roth IRA each year.
Now, like anything out there,
there are some pros and cons to the Roth IRA,
so let's go ahead and talk about what those are now.
First of all, the pros, number one you can grow
your money tax-free because you're paying taxes
on the way in, that is the most desirable feature
of the Roth IRA for most people.
Number two, one of my favorite reasons
for looking at a Roth IRA, is that you can lock in
your tax today.
And a lot of people don't necessarily know what this means,
but do you think that taxes are going to be higher
in the future, the same, or lower?
If you think that taxes are going to be higher
in the future by any chance,
and based on our national debt
there is a good chance that taxes will be higher,
you can lock in that tax rate today
by paying taxes now and not paying taxes later.
Through the 401(k), you're waiting to pay taxes
in some cases 20, 30, or 40 years down the road
and you have absolutely no idea
what the tax structure is going to look like
at that point in time.
And then the third pro is the fact
that you can withdraw contributions penalty free,
so if anything happens down the road
and you need to pull out some money,
you can pull out your contributions
without paying a penalty and you've already paid taxes
on that money, versus money in a 401(k),
if you have to draw from that, you're going
to have to pay taxes and you're gonna have
to pay some kind of penalty, which I believe is around 10%.
It is a nasty bill, not something
that you want to have to do.
What are the cons of a Roth IRA?
Number one, you have to pay taxes up front,
and for some people, they like having their money
invested without paying taxes,
they'd rather pay that tax bill later.
Number two, the maximum contribution is low,
$5,500 per year, you're not gonna be able
to grow a Roth IRA to 10s or hundreds of millions of dollars
unless you're really good at investing that money
and allocating it.
And then number three, there are income limitations
with the Roth IRA.
If you make over a certain dollar amount
you are not allowed to open one,
but if you are in that situation
you need to look up something called
a backdoor Roth IRA,
through a conversion of a different type
of retirement account you can open a Roth IRA,
it's called the backdoor Roth,
check that one out on Google.
So that is how you can become a tax-free millionaire
through the use of a Roth IRA.
And as promised in the beginning,
I'm going to share with you guys what,
in my opinion, is a great option here
for a fee-free Roth IRA, and that is retirement accounts
offered through M1 Finance.
I'm gonna actually open it up and show you guys
exactly what that looks like,
but I did want to mention I'm going to include a link
for M1 Finance down below in the description.
It is an affiliate link, you guys don't have to use it
if you don't want to,
but understand that your use of that link
certainly helps me out and helps to support my channel
and allows me to spread more videos
and messages like this.
So, first of all, why do I like M1 Finance?
It is not because I'm an affiliate,
it has nothing to do with that.
I think it is a great platform,
especially for retirement accounts.
Number one, the first reason why
is that M1 finance doesn't charge you a penny.
There are zero fees associated with investing
through M1 Finance other than the fees
that you're going to pay if you invest
in some kind of ETF, and you're gonna pay those fees
regardless of the brokerage that you go through.
Number two, M1 Finance offers dozens
of professionally built portfolios,
and they offer you some level of guidance here
in terms of putting together a well diversified portfolio,
and I do not know of a single other
free brokerage account out there
that is offering this service to people without charging.
Number three, you can have complete automation
of your investment through M1 Finance.
So if you wanted to contribute $100 a week,
$100 a month, whatever dollar amount you want to contribute,
so you can set that on a schedule
and automatically be investing into your taxable account
or into your retirement account through M1 Finance.
Number four, very simple user interface,
it is one of the best user experiences
in my opinion of any brokerage company out there.
They have a really easy to follow app.
And then number five, the minimum to get started
with a retirement account is just $500,
so the barriers to entry are not very high.
So what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna jump
into my phone here and I'm gonna show you guys
exactly what this looks like and how you can set up
a fee-free Roth IRA with M1 Finance.
So I'm gonna go ahead and show you guys
what these retirement portfolios look like.
I already have an account set up with M1 Finance,
so I can't show you guys that initial step,
but it's very easy, you're just gonna download the app,
click sign up, and then you're going
to select a Roth IRA, opening up a retirement account.
And once you go ahead and open that account,
that is when you can fund it and begin investing
in a portfolio.
So what I want to show you guys
is the retirement portfolios that are offered
through M1 Finance.
And that's what I'm gonna show you guys now
by creating a new pie.
So, what you're gonna do is you're gonna go over here
to expert pies and you can see specifically
they have a plan for retirement.
So these pies are ideal for those
who are planning their investing strategy around retirement,
focused on building wealth while young
and maintaining their portfolio later on
and desiring a portfolio that automatically updates
to align with their goals.
So totally automated portfolio.
So let's go ahead and click on that.
And then all you're going to do
is click right here and type in the year
or select the year that you plan on retiring.
So let's say in my case being about 25 years old,
I'm turning 24 soon, that would mean
I'm going to ideally retire in about 40 years
which would be around 2060.
So I would just select 2060,
and there are my options right there,
2060 conservative, moderate, and aggressive,
and those are all going to be based on your risk tolerance.
If you have a large tolerance for risk
and you don't mind if there is large fluctuations
within your portfolio, you might pick 2060 aggressive.
If you don't have a lot of risk tolerance,
you would pick conservative.
And if you're somewhere in the middle,
that would be the 2060 moderate portfolio.
All you would do is select that portfolio,
you can read more about it and begin investing
through M1 Finance.
So if you click on that specifically
you can get more information on this portfolio,
look at the return over the last one year, three years,
and five years, and see if this is a good selection for you.
But anyways guys, that's gonna wrap up this video,
this is an exact strategy of how you can become
a tax-free millionaire through the use of the Roth IRA
and you can invest in a Roth IRA fee free
through M1 Finance.
Like I said, I have a link in the description,
it's an affiliate link, if you guys decide to sign up.

if you don't want to.
