How Can I Start a Roth IRA & Do I Need L...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering how to start a Roth IRA and how to know if you need life insurance. I’m so excited about all the Ask Shannah questions I will cover this year. I was so overwhelmed by all the questions you sent last year that I didn’t even make it through half of them. So thank you, and keep sending them in. There’s a link in the show notes to submit an Ask Shannah episode and have it featured on the podcast.

In this episode, I cover:

  • How to start a Roth IRA
  • What is a Robo Advisor
  • Roth IRA contribution limits
  • DIY vs. Do it for me Roth options
  • Life insurance term options
  • How to figure out how much life insurance you need
  • Is life insurance right for everyone
