Yesterday I opened my first Roth IRA!!!
The money is not in the account yet, because they have to verify my bank account, but sometime in the next few days I will have $1,300 in there!! Hurray! This is our first retirement savings, and it feels good to get started on that.
I claimed the savers credit, so I have to put $2,000 in the Roth before April. That should be no problem.
I also added $125 to my EF.
There are lots of pending incomes right now, and I wont know my complete total until at least Monday. But it is looking pretty good right now. Finally I feel like we are getting somewhere with our fiances.
Hoping to knock out the animal fund and Roth IRA in the next couple months.

I was trying to remember how old I was when I started an IRA, or saving for retirement in general. I think I could figure it out if I went into the attic and rummaged trough my old financial records, but it's too cold now. I will check later. Like in the spring maye!
