It is the best vehicle BY FAR, that the IRS allows and should be maximized.No one knows what tax brackets will be or look like when its time for IRA withdrawals - the best hedge is to be in a Roth, and know that no matter how big you grow your Roth to, there will be no tax liabilities on the back end.Another way of looking at it is that you are "paying your (old) self" when you contribute to an IRA, so why not pay a little tax now (on the seed) vs. paying a lot of tax (on the fruit)?

It's all about how you were brought up.The kids and even adults today about 80 to 90% are in jobs because they do it because they have to and want to leave as soon as possible.My first job I was 14.I wanted a Tandy computer from Radio Shack but my dad said we couldn't afford it.So being a kid walking around my subdivision there was a fruit market right across the road.I went over and talked to the owner and was hired.I walked back home and told my parents I got a job.The work was very tough but we had a bunch of fun.Didn't have a fork lift so they would back up a truck and we would unload potting soil,wheat straw,pine straw,pumpkins,watermelons,flowers,bags of rocks one by one onto the empty pallets on the ground.When the food truck came we had one manual hand truck.Being the job was considered agricultural I put in sometimes 60 hours a week and I loved the checks as a kid.I bought that Tandy computer.I remember that the salesman at Radio Shack gave me all the reasons why nothing would ever go past 512 kb.My next job years and years later was as a Kmart cashier.I loved being in the air conditioning but the other kids complained the work was too hard.I saw it as a gravy train job that was so easy compared to what I used to do.Many people of today want 100k a year jobs but do not want to put in the work.There are many low income jobs being created but that doesn't motivate people to work.If you have a kid on welfare and you go work part time then they deduct what you make off of that amount so there is no point in working many say.If you get 10 an hour but all of that goes to childcare and they tax you on the income then many just stay home.So the government can't expect to fix the system the way it is right now.There is no motivation for people to work low income jobs when they can make the same unemployed off of government programs.

Funny to say we were trying to escape city every time we had a chance, go to NJ do pick-you-own fruits and vegetables from farm and go to local beer brewery for round of samples. :) Princeton, NJ is our favorite spot.
