Paying Mortgage with Redcard vs. TRoth IRA?
« on: May 14, 2015, 06:35:05 PM »
I have some extra cash each month after Maxing out my T401k. Would it be better to use the Credit Card/ Target red card trick to pay off my mortgage (3.5% interest + anywhere from 2-5% cash back using the trick), or use the extra money to start contributing to a Roth IRA? I feel like the ROI is currently better paying off the mortgage rather than the Roth, but you wiser, longer mustachians may have a different idea!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the Target Redcard no longer accepts credit cards to load. 
That party is over.

Is there any card out there that still allows it?

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
