![]() ![]() An (incredible) 10% return over 30 years or a riskier (but much higher reward) play in a single company like Apple or Amazon. So you have to decide what's best for you. You'd have to contribute $500 a month for 30 years at a 10% return to break $1M. Same thing as above, except 10% return instead of 32%? Less than half a million. 15 years (time) of investing $2400 a year in a 32% return investment is the difference between less than $1M and over $25M. If you invested $200 a month for 30 years in a 32% return investment, you'd have over $25M. If you invested $200 a month for 15 years in a 32% return investment, you'd have less than $1M.

You have 38 years before you can withdraw the gains penalty free. If you only invested in Apple, sure, you'll be fine for a while-Apple's market cap makes it big enough to be it's own country, plus it's sitting on a boatload of cash, it's a dominant company, and will continue to innovate/be cutting edge for the foreseeable future.īut the Roth IRA is your retirement account. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here, please treat others with respect, stay on-topic, and avoid self-promotion.Īlways do your own research before acting on any information or advice that you read on Reddit.
