What is a Roth IRA - Will you start a movement with me? | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Jeff,

Is your proposal that all bloggers who volunteer write general posts about Roth IRAs with complete information?  Or tailor the posts to what we think our audience would benefit from hearing?  For instance, graduate students (which both I and my husband are) need to hear a lot more about what the definition of "earned income" is than what is contained in a normal Roth IRA post.  Personally, I'm less interested in qualified distributions and that sort of thing – perhaps there are other who would like to specialize their posts with greater detail in one area or another (motivation for saving/compound interest, earned income, Roth vs. traditional, IRA vs. 401K, how to choose investments for your Roth, qualified distributions, tax diversification…).  I guess I think the roundup would be a lot more interesting if we all tried to write more-than-slightly different posts, with a few bloggers taking on the Complete Information challenge and others writing more for niche audiences/subjects/purposes.  That way the reader won't be looking at a huge list of possible posts to read and may be more likely to follow over to those posts most pertinent to him/her.

Definitely write for your audience and what you think would benefit them the most.   With Ed Slott the IRA Guru, RothIRA.com and Your-Roth-IRA.com on board, I'm sure they will cover the "complete" package.  

Agreed on everything you said.   I'm officially adding you to the movement.  :) 

Count me in

Sweet.  Up to 65…..

 

I've got US News on board which will hopefully mean Yahoo Finance <fingers crossed>

 

I've got a contact at Fox Business that I've already pinged so we'll see if that turns into anything. 

 

Still need to work on MSN Money, USA Today, etc. 

 

This is fun.

 

Update:  Bankrate.com is on board, too!

How the heck do you have contacts at all these places? If you get all those guys on board this really could be huge!

I'm so excited for this! Already drafting my post now :)

I am in as well 

Count me in! Is this just for Roth or will it it also include Roth 401k?

That works, too.  Welcome aboard!

Sounds great!   We're up to 109 now.
