Infectious agents such as bacteria and viruses are the most frequent causes of gastroenteritis in the US and worldwide. Infections cause diarrhea and other symptoms by causing inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tissue.
Remember, your Traditional IRA is tax deferred, while your Roth IRA is tax free... So, assuming a income tax rate of 30%, you really end up with... $20,933.70 in your Roth IRA, but only $14,653.59 in your Traditional IRA. That's the difference between an IRA that's tax deferred and an IRA that's tax free.
IRAs come in two types. The first is a tax-deferred IRA, in which you don't have to pay the taxes until you begin withdrawing the money when you retire. The second is a Roth IRA, in which you pay the taxes now when rates are lower, not later when taxes are higher. In 2014, the most a person can contribute to either IRA was $5,500 -- $6,500 if you're 50 years or older [sources: IRS, USAA, Edward Jones ]. The Roth IRA is special.
