Money and You By Lynn O'shaughnessy COPLEY NEWS SERVICE June 13, 2005 ............The nation's newest retirement plan has already got its name: the Roth 401(k). Congress authorized its creation in 2001 when it passed legislation that reduced income tax rates and bumped up the contribution ceilings for a variety of retirement plans. Because the Roth 401(k)'s gestation period was so long, this workplace retirement plan was largely ignored. To appreciate how a Roth 401(k) works and why you'll want the opportunity to invest in one, it's best to picture what would happen if a 401(k) collided with a Roth IRA. .......
