I received an inheritance at a young age and am curious if a Roth or a traditional 401k would be better for me

Inheriting a large windfall can be a life-changing event for many, so thoughtful consideration for handling its disposition is necessary.

Don't make any decisions quickly or alone. Assemble a team of financial planners, estate planners, and tax professionals to guide you through the labyrinth of options.

There are pros and cons to every choice, but the tax-free growth opportunities of a Roth 401(k) are very often tough to beat.

A Roth 401(k) is a preferable option. You can mix and match deferrals and make some pre-tax contributions and some post-tax contributions.
