Insights
Thrivent Social Media Privacy Policy, Guidelines, Disclosures & DisclaimersMany investors spend years optimizing their investment allocation while giving little thought to their contribution allocation.
A decision between Roth and Traditional contributions gets made once and stays untouched for years.
Meanwhile:
Income changes.
Tax brackets change.
Career trajectories change.
Retirement goals change.
A Roth contribution election that made sense five years ago may not be the best fit today.
The Traditional election that made sense at age 55 may not have been the best choice at age 35.
Reviewing contribution strategy deserves attention alongside reviewing investments.

Thrivent Social Media Privacy Policy, Guidelines, Disclosures & DisclaimersA Roth contribution and a Traditional contribution can feel very different during your working years.
Traditional contributions often create an immediate benefit through a lower tax bill.
Roth contributions usually require giving up that tax benefit today.
That's why a Roth account can sometimes feel more expensive while you're building wealth.
The tradeoff is that future qualified withdrawals can be completely tax-free.
Neither approach works best in every situation.
The value comes from matching the strategy to the tax situation.

Thrivent Social Media Privacy Policy, Guidelines, Disclosures & DisclaimersOne of the biggest advantages of Roth contributions has nothing to do with investment performance.
The investments can be identical.
The difference is where the tax bill shows up.
Traditional contributions typically reduce taxable income today and create taxable withdrawals later.
Roth contributions require paying taxes today, but qualified withdrawals are tax-free.
When people compare Roth and Traditional accounts, they're really making a decision about when they want to pay taxes.
That single decision can affect retirement income for decades.
