This summarizes the differences well.
The traditional one was better for me when I was in the US. Now I am in an employer plan.

There are some nuances beyond this but basically it’s:
IRA – Contribute tax free now, pay tax when you take the cash out.
Roth IRA – Can’t deduct contributions for tax now, but it’s tax free to take the cash out as long as you are over 59 1/2 years old.
Depends on your individual tax situation as to what’s best.
**knock knock**
anyone still here?
DIBS I’ll ask you tomorrow, but may forget (my memory is shot) so maybe you’ll read this and remember.

I’m reading about it now and am so confused (what else is new).
Anyone else that knows, please chime in.
And what ever you say, say it in simple English.
DH, key is maintenance will be a ton cheaper on the Focus – ie mazda parts are still a lot more than ford parts
just looked up the ’12 focus – pretty good lookin car, perhaps better than the new generation of mazda 3’s
m4l, car & driver gave the 2012 focus a rave
etson, yo yo, don’t ruin it for me. it would be sweet setup for me – cheap rent, brownies on-demand, my son can play with CDog without the full responsibilities of having a dog,…
Ringo, pretty penny would be on CGar; a ton cheaper from the rental tenant perspective (plus it comes with free brownies on-demand)
Ringo, You do know that CGar and the CGar-dog live on my deck, don’t you?
