Another blog post about Roth IRAs
Muwahahaevillaughhahaha. For those of you that come here for my lame sense of humor, and not so much for the finances, prepare to be a little disappointed. I’m actually going to blog about money (well kind of) so bear with me. Do you know what a Roth IRA is? If you love finances, then you [...]
My 401K is gonna be pissed!

I’m gonna do it.
After a great deal of thought and a little bit of fear and insecurity, I decided I’m going to do it. I am going to intentionally not complete one of my 2009 goals. It’s actually much more serious than a one-year-goal. This was a lifetime goal. My first year out of college (2007) I committed [...]

A way to get awesomely rich with minimal effort. The Roth IRA is most effective for younger [...]
Roth IRAwesome part UNO!
If you don’t know, I love Roth IRA’s. I’m banking on my Rothizzle to make me filthy stinkin’ rich. You may think I’m a little optimistic, but I call it realistic. My favorite “You’re gonna be loaded calculator” can be found here , but I’ll just walk ya through what I punched in.
I’m 23 years young [...]
