As far as I know this is correct. ROTH IRA's are tax free as long as you don't touch them before they mature. CD's are not tax free whenever you take the money back.

I know that I need to pump more money in there but honestly I need to pay off my credit cards first and formost, IMHO anyway. Then all of that money is going towards retirement/savings since by then I will have a few raises and be in better financial standing with hopefully fewer bills.
That never works... just do like me and make your disbursement to retirement accounts go up 1% or 2% each year and start at like 7 or 8%.. you'll be up to a good amount in a couple years w/o ever even noticing the difference (make the increase around your raise time)

Retirement isn't something you want to wait on either b/c the interest you lose for those 5 years ends up HUGE after 30 years.

I like the Roth. I use it more for trading online than simple interest. But It's a sweet deal, come time for retirement. I still try and put the max in now.

I have several CD's for the kids. They are doing pretty well, for ages 7 & 9.

Right but when the C.d. ends you re-invest the money and you dont pay taxes....
