Contribute to Roth or put that towards real estate investing goal
Hello,
I am 23 going on 24. I mention my age because I do feel that when discussing a Roth the earliest of your contributions are the most important. My question for you all is if I should continue maxing out my Roth or have that money in a more accessible savings act to use for fueling my real estate investing. I appreciate you guys, thank you!!

Whenever I speak to young people, I always advise to max out your retirement account every year. Live, Scrape and Save from whatever you have left. Invest from the money you are able to save. There is no magic in building wealth. Retirements account should be one part of a diversified savings wealth building plan.
Just my opinion.
