Transcript

Why would I have a Roth IRA, I want to be a millionaire now, not when I'm 60. That's the mindset that keeps you broke. You see, the Roth IRA is not about getting rich when you're 60. It's about tax-free growth. If you invest $6,500 every single year into a Roth IRA starting at age 20, by the time you're 60, you'll have over $2 million. And the best part is, you don't pay a single cent in taxes on that money. So while you're trying to get rich quick, the people who are actually building wealth are playing the long game.
