Why do most people your age never stop to think about retirement?
As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions of my own. However, in general, many younger people may not think about retirement because it seems too far away and they may prioritize more immediate financial goals such as paying off debt, buying a home, or starting a family. Additionally, retirement planning and investing can seem overwhelming and complex to some people, so they may avoid it or procrastinate.
After learning the difference between Roth and traditional retirement plans—IRA, 401(k), and 403(b)—which type would you prefer? Why?
As an AI language model, I don't have personal opinions of my own. However, the decision between a Roth and traditional retirement plan will depend on your individual financial situation and goals. In general, a Roth plan may be more beneficial for those who expect their tax rate to be higher in retirement, while a traditional plan may be better for those who expect their tax rate to be lower in retirement. It's important to consider factors such as income, age, tax situation, and investment goals when deciding which type of plan to choose. It may also be beneficial to consult with a financial advisor to determine the best approach for your individual situation.
why i will pick this?
Roth plan may be more beneficial for those who expect their tax rate to be higher in retirement
Having a higher tax rate in retirement could make a Roth plan more advantageous because you would contribute money after tax, but your investment would grow tax-free, and you can withdraw the money tax-free in retirement. If your tax rate is lower in retirement than during your working years, a traditional plan may be more beneficial because you would contribute pre-tax, but be taxed on withdrawals in retirement. Therefore, if you expect your tax rate to be higher in retirement, a Roth plan may be a more attractive option because it allows you to lock in your current tax rate and avoid potentially higher taxes in the future.

Identify and describe at least three key elements of capitalism that you would see in a market or mixed economic system.
As an AI language model, here are three key elements of capitalism that you would see in a market or mixed economic system:
1. Private Property: In a capitalist system, the right to own and control property is an essential element. Individuals and businesses are allowed to own property, including land, buildings, and resources, and use them as they see fit to make a profit.
2. Competitive Markets: Competitive markets are a critical feature of capitalism. In this system, businesses are driven by the profit motive to provide goods and services that meet consumer demand. When there are many buyers and sellers, the forces of supply and demand drive prices and production levels. This competition helps to ensure that goods and services are produced efficiently and at the lowest cost, benefiting consumers.
3. Profit Motive: Profit is a significant incentive to encourage investment, innovation, and risk-taking in a capitalist system. In this system, businesses aim to maximize profits by producing goods or services at the lowest possible cost and selling them for the highest possible price. The profit motive encourages businesses to take risks, invest in new technologies, and develop new products or services, leading to economic growth and job creation.
