Hey, I'm here to open a Roth ira. Do you know what that is? Yeah, it's an individual retirement account. Sure, but do you know how it works? I put in money I've already paid taxes on. It grows tax free, and when I retire, I don't owe a dime on my gains. I bet you think the Roth IRA is an investment itself, right? Nope. It's just an account you invest through into things like stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds. But you can't even touch that money until you're 59 and a half. Not exactly. I can always pull out my contributions anytime, penalty free. I just can't withdraw profits until then. That's really good, but where did you learn all this? I learned it from ubk. They share hacks the banks don't want you to know. Tap the wake in my bio to learn more for free.
