Have it in the S&P500 for safe and consistent growth. Make sure you max out every year (assuming you can do that comfortably of course)

Make sure you make enough annually to not get a tax penalty for over contributing (even if you’re under 65, there are apparently limits to how much you can contribute without getting penalized by the irs😭)

You can only do $7,000 annually in a Roth if you are under 50
