Opened a Roth IRA account last year and put away a portion of $ each month to eventually reach $6000. This year thinking of plopping all $6000 there in Jan. What method do you all follow?

I do the 6k at once along with my kids Backdoor Coverdell ESAa just to avoid the Backdoor paperwork plus like to get money in early per other posters’ rationale. 529s I still do monthly to spread the cash flow hit throughout the year since those are much more material (5k/month!)

Agree, but easiest to automate and do the$500/mo.

Monthly contributions

Depends on your cash flow? Longer time in the market is better, but if you can't afford $6000 at once, once a month is better than nothing.

I do it when I can, but I’m prioritizing building up a my liquidity and saving for grad school, so I missed my 2019 contribution and probably won’t make the 6k contribution by April 15.

I do one time

Once a year like clockwork

Perhaps a valuable question to ask here next would be: what is your income level and your funding method?

Currently they just have the ITS with the seating capacity of 30 people.

Now for audit they want us to go to office 2 days every week. How are we supposed to do that when they don't even have an office? But they are still adamant to get us back to office location by June 1.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
