## Resource

Want your Roth IRA to stay truly tax-free? Know this: contributions are always safe, but earnings? They need a five-year clock to be penalty-free. That clock starts January 1 of your first Roth account year—and each account type (IRA, 401k, etc.) has its own clock. Plus, exceptions exist for first homes and education, but mess up the rules and the IRS might claim a piece. Meanwhile, Social Security’s trust fund could run dry by 2033, meaning retirement plans must account for possible benefit cuts. Master the rules, and your Roth will work exactly as intended.
