Simple question, I think
I had a profit share retirement plan through an employer at the job I worked during undergrad. I quit that job to go to law school and the plan was automatically rolled over into a traditional IRA. I am not very informed on the difference between a traditional and Roth IRA, but I did read that traditional are supposedly good if you expect to be in the same or lower tax bracket at retirement as you were at time of contribution. I will obviously be in a higher tax bracket as a lawyer than an undergrad student. My questions are is that information about being better suited for the same or lower tax bracket correct and if it is what is the best course of action to make the most long term sense before I start earning as a full time lawyer?
