A little background: I just recently graduated college and will be starting a new full time job next week making $40k a year. I do not have any debts and my living expenses are very low.
My new job will have 100% match up to 4% but it does not start till I am there for one full year. I plan on opening up a Roth IRA soon and planning on contributing full 6k for 2019. I am wondering what else I should do. I have about 25k sitting in discover savings right now. Would I be better off just leaving that money in the savings or contributing $5500 to my 2018 Roth IRA? Also, would it be wise to still contribute to my 401k this year even if employer is not matching it?
