Dear Marlys, You probably know by now, but in case you don’t: Put as much pretax income as allowed into your regular IRA. After that, put as much taxable income as allowed ($5000 or $6000 over 50) into a Roth IRA. The regular IRA is taxable when you withdraw, the Roth IRA is not taxable when withdrawn after 5 years. Good luck, REW

These points are made in “Gone Fishin’ Portfolio” which I’m reading now. However, I was disappointed that no distinction was made between Roth IRAs and other sheltered accounts. I’ve been trying to decide what to put in my Roth vs my regular IRA, and would appreciate anyone else’s ideas.
