how exactly does a Roth work...my mom dukes been telling to get on it. How if she did it my age she would be caking by now.

And how the IRA work?:snoop: im getting too old not to know how shyt works

Just recently got a secure credit card. .I literally have zero credit

Brehs help:to:

Basically, it's an after-tax investment.

So it comes out of money that you've already paid taxes on.

So what you do is open up an IRA at any of the financial institutions mentioned in this thread.

Then choose what you want to invest in. If you don't wanna do a bunch of research, look for the "target" funds or S&P index funds.

Then, every paycheck, you put money into the account. It will grow tax free until you retire, and Uncle Sam can never touch it, ever.

There's a lot more to it than that, there's some websites that can explain the details better.

Nobody really knows when but yea it's coming sometime in the next few years.
Lots of opportunity to cost average downward and increase shares.
It's pretty exciting actually as long as you keep in mind that investing is a long-term thing.


I can't wait until it happens either.... :blessed:

Even better...they will never be healthier for underwriting, and the price will be as cheap as it would ever be. They are looking at good money at 50 just saving $100 a month:yeshrug:

So how does it work? It's an investment that's also a life insurance policy that you can cash out if you decide not to die? :lupe:

A few Floors Down from the Daily Grind
I rolled about 10k from an old 401k into an Td Ameritrade Roth and have yet to even invest it in anything since their system tools are so diverse it's overwhelming.

I want to be aggressive with it, I'm 38.

Anyone have some good funds to just grab?

26 is a great age to start Gator you gonna retire a rich man.

For your 2nd question, depends on the bank and depends on the discount.

:mjlol: that was hilarious. It's called whole life insurance, and you pay for it your WHOLE LIFE. The difference is it pays guaranteed dividends with cash value in it, so you can pull from it and still have a full death benefit. Great for tax diversification, and adds something not as risky to your portfolio

Interesting...

Are the dividends based on deposits or on the value of the policy?

Nevermind just read about it. Pretty cool I may need to lock this in while I'm young...
