Roth IRAs are everywhere in personal finance advice, but what makes them so special?
In this episode, we’re breaking it all down — answering listener-submitted questions about how to open one, when to contribute, and why people won’t stop talking about them.
Listeners ask (and we answer!)...
🤔 What even is a Roth IRA? Explain it to me like I’m 5.
🤔 Is it a good idea to keep my emergency fund in a Roth IRA?
🤔 When should I start being more conservative with my Roth IRA investments?
🤔 I have both a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA—where should I put my money?
🤔 I opened a Roth IRA… now how do I actually invest the money inside it?
🤔 What are the tax benefits of a Roth IRA vs. a Traditional IRA for freelancers?
🤔 Should I still be investing right now when everything feels chaotic?
Plus, Emily shares a sweet story about how her financial planner aunt got her and her siblings hooked on Roth IRAs at a family gathering.
By the end of this episode, our goal is for you to feel excited about Roth IRAs — just like Emily’s siblings walking away from the “kids' table” after that fateful conversation.
Catch you next time,
Cassidy & Emily 💸
