A 401(k) is a workplace retirement account set up by your employer, while a Roth IRA is an individual retirement account you open on your own
They differ in how they handle taxes, who manages them, and how much money you can put in.
Key Differences
          Who provides it:
                      401(k): Offered and managed through a job. It may include an employer match (free money added by your boss).
                      Roth IRA: Opened by you through a bank or broker (no employer match).
           Tax rules:
                     401(k): Usually uses pre-tax money (which lowers your taxes today, but you pay taxes when you take it  out). Note: Some jobs also offer a "Roth 401(k)" option, which uses after-tax money.
                      Roth IRA: Always uses after-tax money (no tax break now, but your money grows and comes out    completely tax-free in retirement).
           Contribution limits:
                     401(k): Has a much higher yearly contribution limit.
                      Roth IRA: Has a much lower yearly limit.
            Income limits:
                       401(k): Anyone with the plan can contribute regardless of how much they make.
                       Roth IRA: High earners cannot contribute directly due to strict IRS income caps.
            Withdrawals:
                      401(k): Penalties apply if you withdraw earnings early.
                      Roth IRA: You can take out your original contributions at any time without tax or penalty.
