Did you know that a Roth IRA doesn't just collect money and you have to -- Hurley09 Apr 28, 2022 at 04:03 PM ET

Hurley09 • 04/28/22 04:03 PM ET

Oof, that's rough. At least you aren't 50 and finding that out.** -- hoosnowahokie Apr 28, 2022 at 04:09 PM ET

LOL ... yep, I don't know much but I knew that.** -- vt90 Apr 28, 2022 at 04:05 PM ET

vt90 • 04/28/22 04:05 PM ET

I didn't know that. I though it was an "either, or" proposition. -- EDGEMAN Apr 28, 2022 at 03:49 PM ET

Income cap is not an issue. I just have no debt, no mortgage -- Tafkam Hokie Apr 28, 2022 at 04:04 PM ET
