<prompt> Human: My new years resolution was to create an IRA, which I did in January. Initially I was feeling pretty good about myself for having 1k to put aside just to start investing, and being able to funnel 300month into my IRA. I will be able to start putting 400 monthly aside toward my IRA in May, but when I browse this sub I see people talking about being able to fully fund their IRA year after year. Is it normalcommon not to?? I would love to be able to but unfortunately I just dont see that happening for me in the foreseeable future.  <response>: Any money you out towards an IRA is beneficial to you in the long term. There is no too little amount.Be proud that you started to invest in yourself!
