Unpopular Opinion: Traditional IRAs Beat Roth IRAs for Retirement Savings. Here's Why.
If you were to ask a room full of financial professionals whether it makes sense for the typical worker to save for retirement in a traditional IRA versus a Roth, I have a feeling the Roth would come out victorious. And it's pretty easy to see why.
