I am 53 years old and consider myself to be a high earner. My job provides me the option to contribute the employer contributions to my Roth 401k. Should I do that or should I continue to direct that to my Traditional 401k ahead of retirement?

As a high income earner can you easily afford to contribute max of $22,500 to your traditional 401(k) and towards retirement? What is your Federal Tax Bracket and percentage of company match? I f you don't know all this then its best you consult with an advisor.

@bassplayerpapabear

@@yanutube1 there is another Roth video where he answers it - I think it is through back door contributions. I believe it is a 2 step process - put money in your 401k and then convert to Roth. You take the tax penalty but it works. I'll try to find the link

Self-Directing methods caught my attention. Thanks Mark!

For the 2020 & 2021 tax years, the combined annual contribution limit for Roth and traditional IRAs is $6,000 ($7,000 if you're age 50 or older). So how do you put in $19,800 if you 50. Investing minds want to know.

Hey Claudeen, my law partner and I started a podcast specifically about self-directing. We have more than 20 episodes that are an hour-long, where we talk about self-directing. We cover topics like IRA/LLCs. If you are interested in self-directing your retirement, I would HIGHLY recommend listening, you can find them here: directedira.com/podcast/

I love your energy!

I like this guy answering those comments

Great info. There is just so much as a newbie it’s overwhelming to grasp all the concepts.

Thank you! This information is awesome, and free!

Mark, thanks for the videos. I am a student of investing. I started in 1991 and haven't looked back. I, too, have found vehicles that ride above 10-12%. And, yes, that don't stay there, but I enjoy the ride while they are there. I just created a spreadsheet and provided it to my nieces and nephews (and my kids) about how to forecast what their accounts will look like in the future if they stay consistent. In closing - the key is to program your mind to see your future. The money starts looking good at the 20 year mark and every year there after it gets really good. To all the readers that don't understand investing, look up the Rule of 72 and Mark's videos will make more sense (assuming they don't right now). Thanks, Mark and keep up the great work.

This is literally what I've been wondering about. The LLC owned by various IRAs is similar to what a hedge fund does - it's just private money investing with a manager for a fee. In this case, you are just having the IRA buy in. Interesting. I might be simplifying the whole thing too much!

My portfolio yeilds over 20% return monthly. I hope you're kicking as well!

So wouldn’t you recommend already having money in a Roth and rolling it over to a self directed one? ( so that you can already have some money to play with as to opening it brand now and not having much in it?)

What if you make more then allowed to put directly into a Roth IRA. Do you have info about back door Roth?

Hi Mark, great video I learned a lot. I have a question about partnering with other LLC. For example, if I had the following setup: Partner 1 sd IRA LLC: 30% Partner 2 sd IRA LLC: 30% Partner 3 LLC: 40%. At the time of distribution, do I have to use the same percentage or would it be wrong if I choose this way to distribute? Partner 1 sd IRA LLC: 45% Partner 2 sd IRA LLC: 45% Partner 3 LLC: 10%.

Thank you so much for educating us!!! God bless you!!! Hope to consult you soon.

This sounds really interesting. I run my own business (LLC) and once I pay off the IRS, later this year, I want to start investing $6k+ a month, plus start another side hustle with 100% of the profits also going to retirement (selling items on ebay). Can you guys assist and guide me? I don't have a 401k yet, but a vendor may be providing it soon, but wondering if there's a better way.

Get a job with the US Government and you can put 20,500 into a Roth TSP. PLUS, the 20,500 will be non-taxable. So, If you earned 40,500, the taxable amount would be 20,000. You will be in the 12% tax bracket.

An LLC set up through an IRA or HSA like this, can the LLC apply for it's own line of credit, or business loans? Or is it all based on the upfront investment? Also can you be an employee of it?

So tempting! Are these LLCs reported on Sch C or 1065? Are your HSA account and your Roth account 50/50 owners of the LLC?

@MarkJKohler

Wow...lots of questions and 20 answers with options. Sometimes the LLCs don't have to report ANYWHERE...and they certainly won't on a Schedule C. May I suggest two things.

They can tailor your questions/answers to your situation and it will save you a ton. Call Rosalie Phan at 435-586-9366 to set something up. Thanks

Being new to investing, I’m not sure how to do so. I guess I would have to set up my plan first to get results, probably all depends on what securities I choose to invest in. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to give all this info. I am a little confused though. What do you mean they took their Roth and formed an LLC and bought tickets, etc etc? I thought you could not deduct from your Roth because there is a hefty penalty/taxes. Please clarify. Thanks so much.
