Invest in a 401(K) or a Roth IRA?

Should I invest in a 401(K) or Roth IRA?  I would contribute first to a 401(k) plan that is sponsored by your work.  The reason being is so that you can take advantage of a employer match.  For example, if your employer matches a contribution at 6%, they have basically given you free money.   If your salary is $50,000.00, and you have 6% of your salary taken out of your pay check to contribute to the 401(K), and your employer matches 6%, for a given year, your employer has given you $3,000.00 of free money.

If you have money that you can save for retirement after you have invested in a 401(K) up to the employer match, it might be a good idea to put it in a Roth IRA.  With a Roth IRA, your money will grow tax-free until you reach the retirement age of 59 1/2.

Stock Market Today - Still on Fiyah!

The stock markets in the U.S. today are still on fire!  All equity indexes are at or near all-time highs.

The Economy of India - The Final Frontier

Much has been said about the country of India's economy. During the last quarter, the Indian economy checked in with an impressive 6.1% growth rate. The pundits argue that the economy is slowing. However, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects an explosive Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 7.2% in 2018, and 7.7% in 2019; this compares to a dismal 1.9% growth rate for the United States GDP during the Socialist's Obama administration.
Though inequality and the caste system prevail in the economy, the growth prospects are impressive; three to four times that of the United States economy! So is India now the land of opportunity? Will the incredible growth rates continue? Will India be a good place to invest? Time will tell.
