Discover how to embrace “lazy” money management, maximize Roth IRA contributions and fix over-contribution mistakes.

How can you passively grow your money? What should you do if you over-contribute to a Roth IRA? Hosts Sean Pyles and Sara Rathner discuss lazy money-management strategies and Roth IRA over-contribution fixes to help you stay on top of your finances with minimal effort. They begin with a discussion of "lazy" personal finance tips, with actionable advice on automating investments, leveraging savings buckets, and using target-date funds for hands-off financial growth.

Then, investing expert Sam Taube joins Sara and co-host Elizabeth Ayoola to discuss managing Roth IRA contributions, especially for those who may have over-contributed. They explore strategies to fix over-contributions, steps for setting up a backdoor Roth IRA, and how to maximize retirement contributions before tax deadlines.
