  • In this video, we're going to go through how to start a Roth IRA with as little as $100. A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account that allows you to put money away in order to save for retirement. You're going to want this money to grow so it needs to be invested which we'll talk about.

    Retirement accounts have a reputation for being complicated, but that doesn't have to be the case. With a Roth IRA, you can open an account with as little as $5 and invest in any stocks or funds you want. You won't get a tax deduction when you contribute, but your money will grow tax-free and your contributions can be withdrawn at any time without penalty-even if it's before retirement age. That makes Roth IRAs ideal for people at any age who expect to earn more money over time and don't necessarily need the extra income now. If you're ready to take advantage of this great investment tool, here are all the things you need to know about opening a Roth IRA.
    The rules around putting money into a Roth IRA are different than those around most other types of investment accounts. You can put up to $6,500 per year into your Roth IRA-$7,500 if you're over 50-and that amount will be tax-free when it comes out in retirement. It's not just anyone who can contribute though-you need earned income and your adjusted gross income which will be covered in the video. If you happen to make too much money to contribute to a Roth IRA directly then you can take advantage of something called a Backdoor Roth IRA.

      Word from a fat, old, bald guy who is a millionaire by investing in a 401K account. My opinion is to invest 100% in a fund that matches the S&P500. Don’t try to time the market by moving funds out of or into the stock market based on the ups and downs of the market. Moving your investments almost never works. Good luck !

    I plan to work for at least 10 to 12 more years, so I'm going to try to max it out every year until then. I may also do some conversions at some point.

    Love you dude! So excited I got my Roth going this year. I did want to let you know, that M1 Finance (while great interface) there are some issues I have had.. For example, trying to withdraw my funds, has been a nightmare. They just are not doing it. I opened a account, funded it with $3k, then the next day decided I wanted to stick with my TD account. So, I went to withdraw my funds, and that was TWO WEEKS ago! Still nothing. Reaching them is impossible and a google search found that I am not alone in them having issues paying people! Fingers crossed this gets resolved. Def. would not recommend anything platform that operates like that.

    Firstly, thank you so much for this video it is right on time.
    Secondly, Is there a benefit to depositing 500+ dollars every month, as opposed to skipping some months and depositing larger lump sums other months, still totaling the maximum allowed at the end of each year?

    • @JarradMorrow
      @JarradMorrow  Рік тому +5

      By "depositing" I'm assuming you're going to be investing the money right away. I'm also assuming you're a long term buy and hold investor in traditional index funds or index fund based ETFs. The only benefit by depositing $500 every month is that your money will get invested sooner which is always better (from a long term investing perspective). If it's not possible to be consistent with that due to something that has to due with your income/expenses then you're fine doing a little bit a few months out of the year and larger amounts at other points of the year. Don't overthink it too much and just get your money in there and working for you.
      If you're someone who is asking from the angle of an individual stock investor or specialty ETF investor then anything I just said goes out the window and I don't have an answer for you because there's a lot more info that's needed 😂

      Invest consistently weekly or monthly and avoid jumping around. Why? When you bounce around you might end up missing out on market downturns/discounts.
      If you invest consistently you capture the ups/downs and net better returns longterm.

    Hello,
    I’m a little confused here and wondering if someone would be able to help me 😅. So I opened a Roth IRA account with chase and my thought was that by simply putting in money weekly and leaving it alone would grow. I understand that I need to max out every year (6500). Do I need to invest or buy (not sure what terminology to use) etfs, stocks, etc. after I have maxed out or once I have money into the ira, (I’m guessing enough to buy etfs or stocks) ?
    If so what etfs or stocks should I consider buying for long term investment. Now, after buying them they would eventually be reflected back into the ira account and thus adding to my maxed out amount for the year?
    Thank you!

    My wife has an old 401k and 403b from a previous employer, about 9k in total. We need to roll it over but would like to put the money into a Roth IRA...can I do that but just expect to pay the taxes on it for converting? Would that be my tax bracket percentage times the 9k to figure out? Sorry learning all this stuff as fast as I can.

    • @alrocky
      @alrocky Рік тому +1

      Married Filing Jointly < $90k = 12% Federal Tax Bracket; $90k - $190k = 22% FTB; $190k - $365k = 24% FTB. If $9k keeps you in 12% FTB, you'll owe [$9k * 0.12 =] $1,080 Federal tax. You owe State tax too. If you're in relatively high tax bracket you could just roll $9k to $9k traditional IRA and then contribute $6,500 for his Roth IRA and $6,500 for her Roth IRA. This will provide tax diversification.

But based on 7% return and retiring at 65 between the two of us we'd have 10 million. I feel like that's too much so I'm looking for ways to keep more money now but not have to pay high taxes.

      Just a flippant remark, but prices seldom go down. If you're struggling to get by or just want a better standard of living now, then reduce it. If your confortable now, it's never a bad thing to have more money than you need. No one knows what the future will bring. Another thing is, by the time you hit age of 40, 45, 50, or so, are you gonna still be able to face going to that job everyday? Might you be able to find something you'd rather be doing? If I were in your shoes, I think I'd retire with a few million and spend my time enjoying life.

    How does one earmark a contribution to be for the previous calendar year (prior to tax filing deadline) as opposed to being for the current year?

It is now 2023 and I was thinking of, as in 2022, contributing to it on an ongoing basis for 2023 as I earn applicable money. But distinguishing between "this contribution was made in 2023 for 2022" and "this contribution was made in 2023 for 2023" is challenging because I do not know how to tell the government which contribution is which. (The paperwork and organization demanded of me is a different matter which I also would need to address).

      Roths are tax shelters of sorts. Government wants taxes today and in future.

Albeit may be at a lower rate but gets the moneys into an account where they can get taxes from individuals on a more regular basis.

Having said that, be careful of the pro rata IRS rule. If you have other existing IRA such as a traditional or Rollover or SEP, you may be liable to additional tax bill because IRS considers all IRAs as one large pool.

    • @JarradMorrow
      @JarradMorrow  Рік тому +2

      The general thought process is that when you're younger and your income is lower a Roth IRA is a better option. The idea behind this has to do with the fact that a lower income means you're paying a lower tax rate. As you get older your income will most likely increase so if you contribute to a Roth IRA or do a Backdoor Roth then you're going to be paying more in taxes since you're going to be in a higher tax bracket.
      Some higher income earners prefer to contribute to their traditional IRA to lower their taxable income, but that's more of an advanced topic that you might not have to worry about right now.
      Even though I'm in a higher tax bracket I go about this a little differently based on my personal preference/situation. I think taxes are going to increase in the future so I contribute to a Roth IRA whenever I have the chance. I also already have a lot of money in pre-tax investments so I want to give myself both pre-tax and post-tax options when I eventually retire and start withdrawing money. This is an advanced strategy when it comes to being able to have more control over the taxes I'll pay in retirement. For you, don't worry about this sort of thing right now. Just get your money in a Roth IRA (as long as it makes sense income/tax wise) and learn the more advanced stuff as time goes on.

    hey, i really like most of your videos! thank you! but just one comment: Please stop using your dog, Molly, to make us hit the LIKE BUTTON!!! Everytime you do that, you make me hit the like button and I feel that I am being overly generous with my likes already! Molly is such a beautiful dog! Hello Molly!
