Very nice article, but this part "Since Roth IRA limits are $5,000 per individual" I believe is incorrect, and it should be 4k. If I'm not mistaken it won't be until 2008 that the limit will be 5k for individuals. Just starting now in 2006 though, you can do catch up contributions for 5k if you are 50 and above, but I believe this was just a typo

Good article and dead-on, DJM.

I do that with my running! It works!

Plus you are verbalising a commitment to yourself.
