Live Feed! Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, 8/2/2017

Live Feed! Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos, 8/2/2017.  What you see in the video below is the economy of the Turks and Caicos, mostly tourism and recreation.  The Turks and Caicos are a part of the British empire.  They are run on the parliamentary systems and the islands are overseen by a British governor.



Conch farming is a big part of their economy and conch is a delicacy of the island as they are farmed from the crystal blue water.  While this looks like paradise, crime is very high, the homicide rate is 10 deaths /100,000 people. Crimes against tourists persist as there have been a rash of shootings, two Americans in the recent two months.  Despite that, the islands are a popular place to snorkel and scuba dive.

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.
