[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 404873, member: 1780"] I have 401k now with company matched money that is vested and steadily building, but I am also curious about IRA's. I've read all of the info on this page to familiarize myself with it, but the comment: "Keep in mind that Congress can change these rules at any time. So while these are the rules today, they may be very different when you retire." ....is somewhat frightening. At my age of 27, there's a loooong period providing great potential for some political idiots to fawk up what sounds so good about a Roth IRA now. I guess my question is, do you think it would really be worth opening one alongside my 401k account? If congress does so in "changing the rules" or anything else, they still could never touch my existing contributions could they? I mean if something happened to the excess earnings of it and I was left with merely what I've put into it over the years, I'd feel more confident in opening one. I don't know the ins and outs of this sort of thing. Good read, explaning the differences in Traditional IRA's and Roth IRA's, here.
