I currently contribute 5% of my paycheck to my companies 401(k), but I want to start a Roth IRA for the tax benefits when I retire. I plan on contributing 10% of my salaray starting in 2009. That should allow me to max out my contrbution limit. I will keep you posted!

“IRAs were created to encourage people to save for their retirement, by offering them a significant tax break. They are intended for ordinary working people – not, for example, the wealthy (income limits prevent them from participating), or trust fund kids too lazy to get a job (contributions have to be made from salary, not from investments or other income).”
I’m ordinary.
I’m working.
I’m people.
Woo-hoo! IRA here I come!

Seriously.
I have no idea.
I have one, but I don’t know what it is. I understand how ignorant that is, but the opportunity arose and my husband and I set one up. He knows what it is, and I know to nod and smile. = )

I gave up because the government at any point in time can start taxing the money that comes out of this type of IRA. I decided instead to teach myself investing hardcore and learn myself how to dominate the investing world…

I’m ready to get started, now that consumer debt is paid off. I already have a 403(b) with PaxWorld, a socially responsible mutual fund. It turns out I actually can roll it over into a Roth.
All I have to do is fill out some forms. And you’d think I was pulling a concrete block uphill, considering how long it’s taken me to do it.

I know I should really really do this right away, but being realistic about my psychology—I won’t start until I have completely paid off my debt.

I did this last year, but I still need to put in this year’s contribution!

I started my IRA on 1/18 with $1000 I had saved. New goal, max it out for the year!

I stuffed $30 into an envelope and labeled it “Savings for Roth IRA.” When I hit $500, I’ll start shopping.

Muriel
is realizing her life circumstances.
A while ago, I was making a deposit and decided to talk with a guy about IRAs and investments. It was very informative and made me realize that now is really the time to get crackin’...
P should’ve had one when he was my age, so now I feel rushed to get this done.
