<prompt> Human: I keep hearing about a looming retirement crisis. If thats the case then why is the yearly contribution limit on a Roth IRA so low?? How can the government expect us to save enough when were only allowed to contribute such a paltry amount to our retirement savings?  <response>: You can always invest extra cash in a regular brokerage account with the same funds found in an IRA, there just isnt any tax incentives.
