Episode 2208:

Travis Hornsby offers insightful guidance on choosing between Roth and Traditional retirement accounts when managing student debt. He explains the advantages of each option and provides specific recommendations for different financial scenarios, helping listeners make informed decisions about their retirement savings strategy.

Quotes to ponder:

"Most resident programs are located in higher tax areas with a high cost of living. That means our reader is probably not deciding where to put his next $15,000, but more like his next $5,000."

"You’re protecting against downside risk in retirement when you save in a Traditional account. If you’re going for Public Service Loan Forgiveness, you should really focus on building assets and protecting against the worst case scenario, which is you having to work forever."
