How will your job change or be affected (if at all) by the results of the presidential election? I honestly don't think mine will much, although I guess there might be some hirings and firings way way up the food chain if Trump becomes president again. Either way I think my work will stay the same on an everyday level, so I can't say I'm really worried about it that much.

There are always hirings and firings at the top level during an administration transition, that's the nature of political appointees.

Beyond that, there's no point worrying. Schedule F isn't coming back and there are very limited ways for an administration to directly impact federal employees without going through Congress.

My job will be fine, but I have a sister-in-law who works for the Department of Education. She's pretty sure her job won't even exist if Trump wins, and I can't imagine having to think about that. One benefit of being a consultant is that I can work for either side, as long as there are jobs available. I guess if the economy tanks that'll be another story.

Pretty sure my job is nixed if Kamala wins, Trump winning shouldn't change much for my role.

I am doing a back door Roth IRA through Vanguard and while everything makes sense to me, I am unsure if an additional $6000 be invested for a non working spouse.

And 2) Any insight into how this is done - Vanguard doesn’t let me add more than $6k as it’s above the individual limit. I tried searching the bowl for specific answers but wasn’t successful. Inputs appreciated.
