Can you give us until January 2nd when the banks and markets are open?

Anyways, I only contribute later in the year.

I would like to be able to contribute to a retirement account, but all my earnings are unearned.
Same boat.

I was under the impression that I can't contribute (open) a HSA without earned income.

The most I could put in on January 2nd would be two Roths and an HSA, so $17,250. I won't do it though. I'm saving up for taxes and a defined benefit plan contribution. I'll have to come up with the Roth and HSA money later in the year.

Nothing on the first of J. I always allocate money for the first three months to cover taxes and will start contributing to IRA about
April 1st. If stocks go down in the first three months, it will be a good buying opportunity.

1. Get match on wife's simple IRA and then roll into Vanguard account for better fund choice.
2. Max out Roth's (if possible)
3. Continue contributing to simple IRA if both Roth's maxed.
4. Turn off my tv and stay the course :happy

With my December dividends, I have more than $5500 in my money-market fund, and that will go into a backdoor Roth IRA on January 2 (probably converted on January 4).

I contribute the $17,500 to my retirement plan equally from every paycheck, so I won't have that much on my first payday.

I always drop the Roth IRA max into my vanguard account on the 1st. Since I've recently redone my entire asset allocation, it will go 100% into the total bond fund.

Okay, you are mistaken. Happy to tell you that. HSA contribution deductibility has requirements, but earned income isn't one of them.

However deducting health insurance premiums if you aren't covered by an employer, does have some earned income requirements.

I've already sent $11,000 from our checking to our Vanguard money market account, and have scheduled automatic contributions to our IRAs for 1/2/13. Then I'll have to convert those to Roth IRAs later in the week.

I don't have any other contributions to retirement plans that will occur by 1/2/13.

$5500 (backdoor Roth) sometime in early January (when I get around to it). Max out 401k in early Feb when my bonus comes through. Works for me (my company does a 401k match true-up over the course of the year).

I've got to clear some pre-tax IRA assets out of the way first, and that'll take a while (especially for some of it I cannot start the process until March).

Having said that, my spouse is going forward with a double-contribution to 401(k) so that it'll max-out in late June.... just in case of a job change that precludes further 401(k) contributions later in the year. I'm actually debating the merits of doing that myself. (Comments?)

So if I'm collecting a pension or living off bank interest/dividends, I cannot deduct health insurance premiums (Part B, Medigap, etc) ???? or are you talking about self employed folks?

On January 1? Nothing.

I did already change my regular Roth contribution to $229 every two weeks, instead of $208. Vanguard tells me it is scheduled to go on January 2nd. So I guess I'm as "locked and loaded" as I can be.

The eagle-eyed may spot that $229 * 24 does not quite equal $5500. So I will be manually putting in an extra $4 into the account at some point in January. Heh. Maye I'll do that on January 1 just to keep up with you guys. :)

I do it similarly for my and the wife's Roths, except monthly. I also changed our scheduled contribution rates to reflect the new limits. Just topped off our 2012 contributions with the missing $8.

I'm afraid that is outside of my knowledge-base at this point. I was mostly thinking about self-employed folks. Example: I'm "mostly retired", but do some 1099 consulting work. I'm a few years away from Medicare age yet, so I can arrange my self-employed situation in such a way that I can deduct my health insurance premiums (to the limit of my self-employed net income).

If set up for every two weeks, you should do $211.50 (with an extra dollar to be added later) for 26 contributions. 24 contributions in the year would be semimonthly.

Spouse and I normally adopt competing strategies -- I max out the Roth as soon as possible; spouse puts in $500 per month. This year may be a bit different as we are building a home addition and I want to get a firmer picture on cash flow before I commit fully to the Roth. Maybe I'll switch to $500/month for the short term and go all in once cash flow is clear.

I have a SEP IRA but the income on my side business is highly erratic so I never put that money in until after the income is in hand.

For voluntary contributions to the 403B I have never considered doing anything other than regular monthly contributions. In theory I could plop in the whole year's worth in January, from the emergency fund, and then pay back the emergency fund every month. But the benefit doesn't seem large enough to be worth that extra hassle (and the small risk I'll separate from the university mid-year).

I will be contributing $14,000
- $6,500 to my wife's IRA and then doing a Roth conversion later in year
- $2,500 per each of my 3 children into their Roth IRA (This is my idea of a "Company match" in order to get them investing for their future. They put in $2,500 and I put in $2,500. Yes, I know that the limit goes up to $5,500 in 2013, but they are on their own with that. I guess I will see which one(s) have gotten the message that they need to save as much as they can for their future.)

$0 is my answer. Majority of my tax deferred is done through payroll into my 457B and 403B. I put some into my ROTH here and there but January 1st is a day to watch college football.

Before Jan 15th (we have some checks to clear, money to be transferred, etc), we will fully fund our Roths (11k) and put $6k in our kids' 529 plans (Max 529 deduction for KS, though OK goes higher - we get state income tax deductions in both states, oddly enough). So, $17k total.

My weekly 403(b) contribution normally gets deposited on Tuesday. I expect it will occur on Wednesday this year due to the holiday. Therefore, I will contribute $17500/52 or $337 on the first market day of the new year.

I'm new to (back door) Roth IRAs. I'm trying to understand the reasoning behind funding it ASAP in Jan 2013. I'm assuming it is mainly to take advantage of tax free growth during 2013. Is that correct understanding? Am I missing any specific advantage in funding it right now rather than DCA over the year?

You have the right idea. The advantage is that the expected direction of your investments is to increase in value. Therefore, time spent invested is better than time spent out of the market - on average. DCA holds back some of your capital throughout the course of the year, and that capital has a lower expected earning potential than invested dollars in your Roth. The likelihood is that said capital is invested in cash, earning almost nothing. I suppose you could have it invested in something else, but that would completely defeat the purpose of DCA in my mind. Even in that case, you'd be trading taxable growth for tax-free growth, so the Roth would be preferable.

Every year I plan to max out my Roth IRA immediately, and every year the market shoots up in the last few days of December, undermining my resolve. It's happening again today: TSM is up about 1.5%. All that talk about the fiscal cliff and we can't even get a decent panic, grumble, grumble, grumble...

On Jan 2, if I remember to do it, I'll contribute $5500 to my Roth. My 401k and HSA both come out of my payroll in even installments throughout the year.

My wife set up her Roth with regular monthly contributions, and the occassional 'bonus' contribution if she's feeling flush.

Will decide in about 15 months from now. Prefer Roth IRA but sometimes Traditional IRA yields instant earnings for low/middle income folks (Earned Income Tax Credit, Retirement Savings Contribution Credit)... these are usually more valuable (and reliable) than a little more time in the market.

I think this is the second year in a row of a big gain on opening day. It's like paying a 2% load on my IRA contributions.

If all goes well and my landlord doesn't raise our rent too much, here's my plan:

- max Roth
- max tradtl 401k
- contribute about 28k to after tax 401k and rollover via non-hardship withdrawals to my Roth

Total to be contributed to tax advantaged: Roughly 51k, which amounts to over 50% of my annual income before taxes
(plus about 5k in 401k employer match)

I don't plan on contributing more to my taxable account this year. Taking advantage of my company's generous 401k since it allows for in-service withdrawals.

Last year, if you had waited until the end of the year you would have paid a 13% load. :)
