3. When Should I start Investing in a ROTH-IRA?
a. The ROTH-IRA is a fabulous “next step” on you journey to cleaning up your financial house, and moving from the reactive you, to the wealth-building active you. Don’t start with a ROTH-IRA. Think of it as the icing on the cake.
b. Your first steps should always be the basics. Get your finances in order. Pay off your debt, create a budget and develop good spending habits. Work towards exploiting all of the retirement benefits that are available through your employer or business, such as a 401k, a Pension account, company stock options and contributions, You see, the ROTH-IRA becomes important, when you’ve done all of these other things. Now, you are asking yourself, “What else can I do, to build wealth faster?” That’s Excellent! And that’s the time, when the ROTH-IRA is the best, obvious next choice!
c. Do you own your home yet? If you don’t, than might I suggest that you consider this as your most important priority, pre-ROTH-IRA. In 2003, our Real Estate in the Sacramento area, overall, appreciated 15.5%! All you have to do, to enjoy this amazing financial vehicle, is to simply own your own home. Now it may not always be as amazing as 15.5% appreciation, but overall, arguably, there is no faster, easier, and better way to get to wealth, then through home ownership. .
4. How Long Before I Earn $1,000,000 – One Million Dollars?
One second...Taking out my trusty calculator....
a. Assuming 9% investment earnings
b. Assuming a monthly investment of $500...
c. I'm making the assumption that you're married, and you're investing into 2 ROTH IRAs, rather than one...Thus, I'm going to calculate on a per family basis...If you're only an individual, you can only calculate for one ROTH IRA, and your monthly investment would be $250.
Ready? Here we go…
So it would take the average American family about 30 years to get to One Million Dollars.
I hope you realize how EXCELLENT this is for you. I know 30 years sounds like a long time, but we’re talking about PASSIVE wealth building, easy wealth building, painless wealth buildling, and automated wealth building for your retirement.
You set this up, and all you have to do is go to work every day and live your life. The ROTH-IRA account, alongside all your other investment programs, will be building your wealth in the background, and remember I said this was icing on the cake?
Well, don’t forget, you should also have REAL ESTATE, your 401k, your pension, etc. With all of this working in your favor, truthfully, you’re not just talking about one million dollars, you’re probably talking about working towards a retirement goal of three million dollars or more, all from passive investment programs, like the ROTH-IRA.
