If you’re a friend of mine and you don’t have a retirement account setup yet, I want you to open one today. Yes today. Right now. Hopefully you have $5,500 sitting in a savings account or CD earning you nothing right now. Why $5,500? Because that’s the maximum you can contribute to a ROTH IRA which is the retirement account you want to open (if you earn less than $183,000, which I’m pretty sure you do).
I’m going to help you put that money to work for you by opening an investment account with Axos Invest. There are tons of investing brokerages, but I’m going to highlight one of the easiest places to open an investing account today. You’re going to open it, answer some questions, send your savings there, and let it sit for a year. If you’re not happy with it after a year, you can take it back it and put it back where you have you now. But I’m confident you’ll be so happy with the result after a year, you’ll not only keep your money there but you’ll add more to it.
