in retirement: Because Roth IRA distributions aren't included
in your income
in retirement, pulling money from that pot

in a lower
tax bracket, potentially reducing the
taxes on your Social Security benefits and lowering Medicare premiums that increase at
higher income levels.

be in a lower or

tax - deferred account, etc.).

bracket when you retire, you'll pay less
tax too.
