Roth IRA, 401(k), traditional IRA, which one do you choose? My recommendation is a Roth IRA and there are many reasons for this. It is optimal to break down an IRA into four sections.

A summary of four extraordinary economic thinkers. Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and Carl Marx. Adam Smith fascinates me the most.
