Oh I do and have been.
I just know that not everyone can afford that. There's nothing wrong with even a few hundred dollars per year, especially if you're young. A ROTH IRA is probably the most valuable investment vehicle for middle class earners. You should, however, contribute first to your 401k to get your full employer match (free money). After that, people should look to fund a ROTH. |

I was just looking at my ROTH and I have a mutual fund with T Rowe Price that made 50% in the past year. I thought that was ****ing awesome for passive investing.

I find that sad. I've learned all on my own but it shouldn't be that way. Does your employer offer a 401k? Many are also offering ROTH 401ks now. Or will you be looking to set this up yourself? |

Day trading is part of investing as well, doesn't mean everyone on here does it, I'm just dabbling with my stimulus money from the Govt. with that. Play money i call it. |

I've gotten a late start on supplemental retirement savings and have already banked a lot. I shudder to think how much I would have if I had started saving at 22 rather than in my 30s. |

Roth IRA was one of the first things I learned in street class on top of how to balance a check book. Haven’t set one up but now in my mid 30s I sure as shit want to set up a few $5k accounts
