New to investing and these stock drops are making me nervous. Any reason to stop contributing to 401k whole this all balances out? My investment portfolio dropped like 7k over the last week. Ugh.

Guess this is only fun when they go up 🥺

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!

Hey there,
