Hi all,
I'm 23 years old, currently only investing in my 401k towards retirement. I am investing 18% of my paycheck into the 401k, with an additional 6% company match and a pension (not vested for another 3.5 years). Current balance in the 401k is around 17k with my age in % bonds and (100-age)% in mutual funds.
My question is, I want to start a Roth IRA account. I'm leaning towards Vanguard. Is the STAR fund a good option in my situation?
When does my $5,500 contribution refresh (aka, I can put another $5,500 in)? Is it a specific date?
Anything else I should be considering regarding a Roth IRA at my age?
Thank you for the help!
