Why hasn’t my financial advisor ever told me about this?
You have to pay taxes (upfront or at the end—either way you will be taxed heavily)
Your money is not liquid (you can’t access your money any time you want, and if you do, you’re fiscally penalized)
You are limited to how much you invest (plans with most tax benefits have funding limits)
Your money is not guaranteed (the money in your 401(k) or IRA soars with the market, and goes down with the market)
You are required to report your earnings to the IRS (everything in a 401(k) or IRA is, Uncle Sam’s business.)
You don't pay taxes on growth - a good thing, but...
You can only deposit $6,000 a year ($7,000 if you are 50 or over)
Growth & principle isn’t guaranteed - like most 401(k)'s
It's not liquid (same 10% early withdrawal penalty on gains)
You are required to report your earnings to the IRS (everything in a 401(k) or IRA is, Uncle Sam’s business.)
The rules could change (The withdrawal rules could be changed with one piece of legislation)
You don’t pay taxes on growth or principal. Ever. ( This is 100% legal if your account is set up correctly, and structured according to current IRS tax-code.)
You earn 30-40 times more interest than with a regular bank account. (Historically, qualified individuals earned 2-7% a year.)
Your principal and gains are guaranteed ( All your initial contribution plus what it grows to each year is guaranteed each year by reset so you can never lose what you put in OR earned).
Your money is Liquid (All money put into and made in your account is cash—you can withdraw any amount—at any time—without penalty).
You are not required to report earnings to the IRS (The IRS doesn’t classify income as “income” inside this kind of account. Not Uncle Sam’s Business.)
And there are many more rewarding benefits this account can give you.... But...
