Therefore, we are trying to aggressively save as much as possible between now and then to have a sufficient down payment (hopefully 3.5% with a FHA so long as we can qualify) and enough to cover closing costs and some reserve money for any unexpected circumstances.With student loan payments on the horizon, I’ve been contributing about $500 a month to my Roth IRA in anticipation of having to cut back dramatically in 3 months.My question is this: should I keep investing into my Roth IRA during my student loan repayment/saving for our first property or will losing a year to a year and a half of contributing really hurt me that much in the long run?
