Why I’m trying to max my Roth IRA asap:
What is Transfer Tuesday?
It was coined by Mary from @PenniesNotPerfection and it’s the day of the week where you move ANY amount of money to ANY of your financial goals (debt, savings, investments, sinking funds, etc.).
I tend to transfer money multiple times a week to my various goals, but I always make a transfer on Tuesday as well!
What’s the point?
You will make quicker progress the more transfers you make (less interest paid on debt, more interest gained in your savings accounts, more money compounding in your investments). It also helps your money mindset because it feels good to make progress on a regular basis!
Other info about my journey:
The only debt I have left is my $36,000 of student loan debt. However, Federal student loans have been in forbearance and at 0% interest since March 2020. For that reason, I have been saving money in my high-yield savings account and I will make a lump sum payment once the pause has ended. I choose to save the money because I am gaining interest in my HYS account so I am technically making money off of my debt!
I now have enough money saved to completely pay off my debt, so I am focusing on investing/saving!

Are you looking for a way to boost your retirement savings? If so, then Transfer Tuesday might be just the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. On Transfer Tuesday, financial services companies offer special incentives for individuals looking to transfer their retirement accounts, such as a 401(k) or traditional IRA, to a Roth IRA. One such offer that has been gaining momentum is the “50% of My Roth IRA” promotion, which promises to match 50% of the amount transferred to a Roth IRA.
For those unfamiliar with Roth IRAs, they are a popular retirement savings vehicle that offers tax-free withdrawals in retirement. Unlike traditional IRAs or 401(k)s, contributions to a Roth IRA are made with after-tax dollars, meaning that withdrawals in retirement are not subject to income tax. This can provide significant tax advantages for individuals in retirement, as well as flexibility in managing their taxable income.
The “50% of My Roth IRA” promotion is a compelling offer for individuals looking to maximize their retirement savings. For example, if you were to transfer $10,000 to a Roth IRA, the financial services company would match $5,000, bringing your total account balance to $15,000. This can be a significant boost to your retirement savings and can help you reach your financial goals faster.
Additionally, the promotion offers a unique opportunity to take advantage of the current low tax rates. When you transfer funds from a traditional IRA or 401(k) to a Roth IRA, you will need to pay income tax on the amount transferred. However, given the current low tax rates, now may be an advantageous time to make the switch and take advantage of tax-free withdrawals in retirement.
If you are considering taking advantage of the “50% of My Roth IRA” promotion, it’s essential to do your research and consider speaking with a financial advisor. They can help you assess whether a Roth IRA is the right strategy for your retirement savings and provide personalized guidance based on your financial situation.
In conclusion, Transfer Tuesday’s “50% of My Roth IRA” promotion presents a unique opportunity for individuals to boost their retirement savings. By taking advantage of this offer, you can maximize the potential tax advantages of a Roth IRA and set yourself up for a more secure financial future. So, if you’ve been considering transferring your retirement accounts, now may be the perfect time to take action and make the most of this compelling promotion.
Hi Leila congrats on 50% for Roth! Aim for all 3 lol.
Yeah!! I've maxed out my Emergency found and almost there on my moving fund! Also got some money back from taxes that went toward my utilities sinking fund (we had a huge gaz prices increase in Europe – around 300% so I am aggressively saving for that)
I am trying to decide what to do with some extra money I wasn't expecting. My ROTH seems like an excellent idea now.
Hi Leila! Are you concerned at all that your income will go above the IRS limits for Roth IRA contributions? I think it’s around 130k/140k. I’ve heard it can be a nasty tax situation if you have to withdraw invested contributions if you accidentally make more than you thought. You’re side income is doing so well I’m wondering if you’re getting close to the income limit. Love the videos!
I put some money towards my brokerage account
Seeing your growth is amazing! ❤
You’re killing it!
Yay! So incredible. Such amazing progress. I am so looking forward to watching your financial goals blossom!!!! I contributed a nice bit of money for my son's car fund! Well worth it! He just completed his freshmen year of college with over a 4.0 GPA. Computer Science Major! So proud!
That roth is growing so quick!! I can't wait to throw more money towards investing!
We threw another $990 to our current debt. $1245 left on that one!! We've officially crossed the halfway point for our debt payoff. 22k paid off, 20k to go!!
Awesome!!! Just in May and already 50%+!! So excited for you. I was just able to max out my 2022 roth right by April 15. So have only been able to put $100 towards 2023 Roth! But something is something! So excited for you!
Next 2 transfer Tuesdays will mean so much for me!! You will see!!
