That’s why I didn’t bother to look up the exact numbers.
Basically–if you have a 401k, don’t put money into a traditional IRA. It’s not deductible. Just put it into 401k instead. Or a Roth IRA, if you’re eligible.
I have never contributed to a traditional IRA, and I probably never will.
We should start a debate, discussing the merits/demerits of the CFP versus the CFA.
You sure like to stir the pot Greenie
Don’t forget to include MBA in the discussion.
I’m pretty sure after that last thread we can all agree a financial advisor with his CFP and an MBA from non-top 20 school is better than a portfolio manager with a CFA from Harvard…at estate planning.
Actually, forget the CFP. The CWA is where it’s at.
For the low, low price of $1,595, you too can study for 25-40 hours and take the test to become a Certified Wealthcare Analyst! It’s granted by the private, for profit group, Wealthcare Capital Management.

(You also get a free copy of one of the instructor’s books, “How to stop the Investing Ripoff!”. I’m glad to know he has our best interests at heart, and would never rip anybody off with a non-value-added proposal.)
