- Yeah something sketchy going on there -- nm - Epiphany Jan 3, 07:53 2

- how long till the show gets released on Blu-Ray? - Beaker Jan 3, 07:28 4
  - The movie rights were purchased by Greg Berlanti. That said, Broadway shows don't need Blu-ray, they make more money off Broadway/tours. - MDH Jan 3, 07:33 3

FYI: The Roth IRA contribution limit for 2019 is $6,000, up from $5,500 in 2018. You can still contribute for tax year 2018 until April 15. -- nm - Baron Barium Jan 3, 07:06 12
- Also is that 6k a total limit for retirement accounts or can you do 6k Roth and 12k traditional IRA in the same year? -- nm - Bacon Jan 3, 07:12 5
  - No, I don't believe so. You can divide your contribution between them, but the limit still applies. (Accountant-types, please correct me if wrong.) -- nm - Baron Barium Jan 3, 07:16
  - $19k traditional, $6k roth. unless I'm reading wrong. decline? -- (link) - amanda Jan 3, 07:13 3

- I am sure there is a good answer, but why a cap on Roth if it's already paid it's taxes? So rich people don't hide money in Roths? -- nm - Bacon Jan 3, 07:10 5
  - Also, since cap gains in the Roth are tax-free, if you could put unlimited funds into it, the gov't would lose mountains of future revenue. -- nm - Baron Barium Jan 3, 07:26
  - basically -- nm - decline Jan 3, 07:23
  - yes. another nice tax deferred vehicle is an HSA if you have access to one. -- nm - amanda Jan 3, 07:15 2
    - Health Savings Account? -- nm - Bacon Jan 3, 07:19 1
      - Yup. You can take distributions without penalties at age 65, even if they’re not for health care expenses, you just have to pay taxes. -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Jan 3, 07:50
