What is the point of this?

Retirement Supplement/Emergency Fund?


Basically this. I just want to get more out any extra money that I have rather than letting it sit in a lower interest online savings account.

Remember though that you can only really take out what you put in with no penalty (which is a benefit in my case....I can take out earnings from the emergency fund segment tax free thanks to contributions to the retirement side) so its to your advantage to put a fair amount in.


So from my understanding, I can take out whatever I put in after 5 years penalty free (or can I do that even before 5 yrs?). But I have to wait until I am 59.5 years old to take out the earnings penalty free right? Minus house exceptions and the other type of things.

All non conversion contributions are allowed to be withdrawn at any time with no questions asked

Conversion contributions can be withdrawn tax/penalty free after the Roth account is older than 5 years old.
