Roth IRA

By Terry Savage on April 01, 2025 | Financial Planning / Retirement

Is now a bad time to start a roth IRA with the tariffs going on?

Terry Says

If you qualify, you should open a ROTH IRA at any time. The real question is how you invest that contribution.
And that depends on your age and time horizon.
If you’re a young worker, I’d suggest making the full contribution now — but putting it all in the money market fund. Then move 10% into the S&P 500 stock index fund every month, automatically.
