For You:
If you're feeling overwhelmed, Jeff Rose, CFP, founder of Good Financial Cents and the YouTube channel Wealth Hacker wants to help. The financial expert recently posted a posted a video highlighting the best types of Roth IRAs, depending on the factors such as your preferred level of involvement and investment type(s).
Keep reading to find out his top choices, so you can learn more about the Roth IRA options available to you.
If you want to go to a physical location and talk to a real person about your IRA, Charles Schwab is your best option, Rose said in his video. The company has more than 400 branches nationwide, with over 1,200 financial consultants, according to its career website.
He said Charles Schwab also has low fees — or even no fees — and has no minimum deposit requirements. You're also able to invest in a notably wide range of investments, allowing you to create a truly customized portfolio.
Find Out:
If you don't know much about investing or simply have no desire hand-pick your investments, Betterment is your best choice, Rose said. The company serves as a robo-advisor, meaning your investment is managed with automated technology.
'Basically all you have to do with Betterment is choose your investment goals or your retirement goals,' he said.
Another reason to choose Betterment — Rose said their fees are a fraction of what you'll pay many other firms.
Perhaps you're looking for an IRA that allows you to be involved to an extent. In this case, Rose advised opting for M1 Finance.
'What you get are their investment pies,' he said. 'Essentially, what you're doing here is creating your own investment portfolio.'
An M1 portfolio is literally shown as a pie, with holdings signified by slices. You can then choose from a wide-variety of stocks and ETFs to include in your IRA.
Say you want to invest in real estate with a Roth IRA — your best option is Fundrise, Rose said.
A real estate crowdfunding platform, Fundrise allows you to join forces with other investors to purchase real estate, he said. A Fundrise investor himself, Rose said one of his favorite things about investing with the company is the ability to see the actual properties he buys, any projects in the works and any sales that take place.
Fundrise has a real estate portfolio valued at more than $7 billion, consisting of build-for-rent housing communities, multifamily apartments and industrial assets in the Sunbelt, according to its website.
You read that right — just like with a 401(k) match, it's possible to find an IRA match. For this, Rose said you'll need to go with Robinhood.
'Right now, they are the only Roth IRA account provider that offers a 1% match,' he said.
Worth noting, you can get a 3% match on annual contributions with a Robinhood Gold subscription, which costs $5 per month or $50 per year.
If you just want to let the market work its magic, Rose suggested going with Vanguard). He said they have a variety of options, but the Vanguard Digital Advisor is likely the best choice for beginners.
A robo-advisor, you'll need a minimum of $100 to enroll in the Vanguard Digital Advisor, paying an average of $15 to $16 in annual fees per every $10,000 invested in an all-index, according to the company website.

The Company Behind Walmart's Great Value Ice Cream Is Bigger Than You Might Expect
Walmart shoppers know that the corporate giant has its own house brand called Great Value. And shoppers on a budget know that this brand, found amongst the scores of other name brands that Walmart carries, is often priced lower than the others. In my personal experience, the Great Value brand is just as good as fancier brands. Come to find out, this is because some of these fancier brands actually make Great Value brand products. For example, Sara Lee makes Great Value breads, and Kellogg's (whose major cereal recall took millions of boxes off shelves) produces some Great Value cereals. When it comes to Walmart's ice creams, a company called Wells Dairy has been churning out the Great Value brand for decades. You may not recognize the name, but you'll know many of the ice creams it makes. Located in Le Mars, Iowa, which is also known as the Ice Cream Capital of the World, Wells Dairy (which is now officially called Wells Enterprises) began in 1913 as a horse-drawn wagon milk delivery service. In 1925, it began making ice cream and hasn't stopped. Not only does Wells Dairy make Great Value ice cream, but it also produces the frozen treats for Blue Bunny, Halo Top, Bomb Pop, and Blue Ribbon Classics. The dairy manufacturer is so huge that overall production requires a 900,000 square foot plant and a freezer that is 12 stories tall. And this is just in Le Mars; the company also has a production facility in New York. Overall, Wells Dairy makes over 150 million gallons of ice cream every year. Read more: Brands Of Vanilla Ice Cream Ranked From Worst To Best Churning out Great Value brand ice cream is undoubtedly a huge piece of Wells Enterprises' business, but the size and overall impact that the company has made in the frozen treat world is also notable. There is an entire Wells Enterprises visitors center in Le Mars where throngs of tourists visit every year to sample ice cream (the ice cream parlor has 40 flavors to choose from), tour the facilities, and get a glimpse of how all that ice cream is made every day. If you like the Great Value brand Sea Salt Caramel ice cream flavor, which we found to taste just as good as other brand names, try the parlor's Salted Caramel Craze flavor and see how it compares. Wells didn't always make Great Value ice cream. In fact, the relationship between the two corporations began with a Walmart store in Kansas selling the Blue Bunny line of ice cream, which Wells was already making at the time. In what would become an enormous business relationship, Wells agreed to make the Great Value brand of ice cream, while Walmart would continue to sell Blue Bunny (not to mention Halo Top, Bomb Pops, and Blue Ribbon) in its stores, even when offered right next to its own house brand. If you like Bomb Pops, we ranked some flavors to find the one that reigns supreme. For more food and drink goodness, join The Takeout's newsletter.
