IRAs are an incredibly valuable tool used for retirement planning but they can be confusing.

Travis and Kelly help you avoid the many rabbit holes of investing jargon by breaking down the defining terms of these two types of IRAs, then they discuss the similarities between the Roth and Traditional, and finally point out the important differences.
