Rock And Roll Heaven by The Righteous Brothers. This talks about numerous music stars who died too young. First verse: Jimi gave us rainbows is Jimi Hendrix. Janis took a piece of our hearts is Janis Joplin. Otis took us all to the dock of the bay is Otis Redding. Remember Jim that way is Jim Morrison.
The idea is that even if you earn too much to contribute to a Roth IRA directly, you can open a Traditional nondeductible IRA and convert it to a Roth; there is no income limit on Traditional nondeductible IRAs or conversions.
An investor can contribute to either a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA, or split the contribution between the two, but the combined annual contribution limit still applies. For example, in 2017, if you were 28 years old, you could contribute a total of $5,500 to either your Traditional IRA or your Roth IRA without exceeding the contribution limits and being hit with significant penalties.
