Ask Shannah: Starting a Roth IRA & Do I Need Life Insurance

In this Ask Shannah episode, I’m covering how to start a Roth IRA and how to know if you need life insurance. I’m so excited about all the Ask Shannah questions that I’m going to cover this year. I was so overwhelmed by all the questions you sent last year that I didn’t even make it through half of them. So thank you, and keep sending them in. There’s a link in the show notes to submit an Ask Shannah episode and have it featured on the podcast.

In this episode, I cover:

• How to start a Roth IRA
• What is a Robo Advisor
• Roth IRA contribution limits
• DIY vs. Do it for me Roth options
• Life insurance term options
• How to figure out how much life insurance you need
• Is life insurance right for everyone
