Do This Instead of Opening an IRA // Why I Don't Have an IRA Open

An IRA has always been looked to as a traditional investment everyone needs to make, but what if I told you that you shouldn't open an IRA for the tax benefits? What if there were better tax savings you could get if you didn't open an iRA?

It’s pretty simple though so don’t worry this will be quick. A traditional IRA deducts the money you put into it right now from your taxable income and then you pay taxes on withdraws later on. Roth IRAs you pay taxes on now and get tax free withdrawals later on. Meaning, if you think you will have a higher income when you retire than compared to now, a Roth ira would be better. Inside an IRA, you also don’t need to worry about taxes. For all your dividends you earn inside an IRA they are not taxed like they are in a normal investment account. Speaking of, if you earn dividends in your normal brokerage account, then be ready to pay some taxes on them because they increase your overall income. If you have qualified dividends though then as long as you earn less than $38,600 a year, you will need to pay nothing on your dividends. Changes a bit based on your income and household status though. Anyways, so inside an IRA they are not taxed, but you also won’t be able to use that dividend income for your daily life. If you make $50,000 a year and contribute the max to an IRA you save about $500 in taxes and your take home pay is $35,000 or $2,916 a month. If you don’t do that your take home pay is $40,000 or about $3,333 a month. Having more income can be great if you want to save up to purchase a house because you are not typically allowed to borrow against your IRA or take money out of it without a penalty. Now hear me out on why I don’t think you should open an IRA and rather just open a normal brokerage account for your investments. Real quick if your employer offers a 401k match program make sure you contribute to the max in that because it is just free money for you. Just because you have a 401k doesn’t mean you should open an IRA though and let’s get into that. I think buying a home would actually save you more in the long run than opening an IRA. Firstly, you get to deduct things like property tax, mortgage interest and PMI. Along with things like using clean energy and some things for first time home buyers. If you use the same salary of $50,000 you can afford a $300,000 home just about. Let’s real quick find a home around me and see how much in taxes you pay for that. In my eyes you could save up for retirement with both an IRA and a 401k and buy a house later or you could have your 401k and buy a house sooner that would allow you some special tax advantages. If you saved $6000 a year to put towards a house you would be missing out on the potential gains of your money when you spent it to buy a house, but you would gain the tax advantages of having a house. In income to put away this is what I would do first. Max out 401k for employee contribution, build a down payment for a house and then focus on your IRA if you want to. The tax benefits of having a house and also building up an asset outweigh the benefit of tax advantages with an IRA, at least to me.
