I highly recommend Roth IRAs. I started investing in a Roth IRA years ago and like how you can pull money out (only your contributions over the years, not your gains) tax free for any reason before 59 1/2. I pulled out 92k between my wife's Roth IRA and mine a couple years ago (tax free) to buy real estate. I buy stocks in my Roth and use it as my emergency fund. Or RE fund. Lol
