Bastard,

I might sound like a dumbass with this post, but I have just been dragging my feet on fricking around with my Roth IRA.

So I just contributed another 5 grand to my general settlement fund. 5 grand was already in there from last year.

When this recent 5 grand clears, I plan on putting all of what is in the settlement fund into one of the funds that you listed.

Am I doing this right?

And yall don't make fun of me if I am doing this all wrong. I am pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff. Just trying to patch together info I read here and other places, and make it make sense to me. Thanks!

I'm 36 and have my Roth and Traditional IRA in a target date fund with Vanguard. Would it make sense at my age to go to VTSAX? If so how do I do that?
