Episode 144 | When Should I Put Money Into My Roth IRA?

About this episode

A listener wants to know if it is better to put a lump sum into his Roth IRA at the beginning or end of the year. Art’s answer becomes, not just about Roth IRAs, but emergency funds as well.

Notes:

Your emergency fund should be a relatively stagnant number.
Removing money from your emergency fund should be for emergency purposes only.
We recommend putting 15% of your gross income toward retirement every time you get paid.
If you have a lump sum, it is usually best to invest at one time instead of spreading it out.
