Lesson: Roth vs. Traditional, decided in 60 seconds (2026-07-18)

Location: Lesson: Roth vs. Traditional, decided in 60 seconds

What was wrong: The Real Cost section called a $7,000 per year IRA contribution a "maxed" contribution. $7,000 was the 2025 limit, not the 2026 maximum.

What it now says: The line now reads the 2026 IRA contribution limit of $7,500 from the reference registry, so "maxed" is accurate. The percentage-based figures that follow (5 to 15 percent of the balance, $50,000 to $150,000 on a $1 million balance) do not depend on the annual amount and are unchanged. A separate worked scenario elsewhere in the lesson uses $7,000 as an illustrative single contribution, not a claimed maximum, and is left as written.

Why it was wrong and how it was caught: A live page called a stale figure the maximum. Caught in the full-site factual audit on July 18, 2026. The amount now interpolates from the registry so the next contribution-limit change moves it without an edit.
