The #'s are out, the IRS just posted the IRA contribution limits for 2009 and they are as follows:
2008 Roth and Traditional IRA contribution limits- $5,000
2009 Roth and Traditional IRA contribution limits- $5,000 ( moving forward they are supposed to be adjusted for inflation, but the IRS did not see a need for an adjustment for inflation this year probably bc of the economy )
401(k) contribution limits: 2008- $15,500 2009- $16,500 -yay!
Over 50 year old catch ups-
401(k)'s- $5,500 for 2009 -( 2008 was 5,000)
For business owners, the Simple IRA has increased to $11,500 for 2009 from 10,500 for 2008. The over 50 catch up remains unchanged at $2,500)
PLAN ON INCREASING YOUR SAVINGS TO REFLECT THIS FOR 2009!

Traditional IRA has some limits which are not much prominent in the Roth IRA. Conversion of traditional IRA to Roth IRA is a good tax move.
