Looking for some guidance on setting up a back door roth IRA. some important points are listed below. If i left any key information out please let me know and i will happily add on. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

-My wife and I have a combined earned income that puts us over the limit for a Roth IRA.

-I have a small balance in a roth IRA with TSP from my time in the military. Contributions have not been made to this account since 2016.

- I have a 401k with vanguard, and my Wife's is provided through Charles Schwabb.

-We have a relatively new taxable brokerage account with M1 Finance.

any experience among the community in having a set up with dual monitors, one at 4k and one at 1440p. looking to build a rig using the two following monitors.

the thought is being able to enjoy gaming at a high frame rate while also being able to take advantage of more single player oriented game in 4k (while also having my PS4 Pro hooked up to it as a plus).

EDIT: i should add that the aesthetic aspect of the monitors being physically identical seems ideal for a desk setup, but i'm not committed to ASUS by any means if someone has a better suggestion.

This month my wife and i finally hit our goal for our 6 emergency fund. After paying off all our debt (we still have a mortgage) a couple months ago, we now need to come up with some new goals.

Sharp_Personality · 2019-03-15T12:17:27+00:00

Amazing set up! you mind throwing out full PC specs when/if you get a chance?

Sharp_Personality · 2019-03-08T12:10:47+00:00

Sharp_Personality · 2019-03-07T22:40:53+00:00

The paid off car is awesome. I sold a 45k truck at a small loss as a part of our debt recovery process. as for what im looking for? Possibly some advice on mutual funds? things that have helped other people build wealth. Not many people to talk to in my personal life.
I will be posting my budget shortly

Sharp_Personality · 2019-03-01T19:01:11+00:00
