My Roth contribution continues to sit in the money market of my mutual fund, and now I am waiting. . . for the share price of various mutual funds to go down a bit before I purchase them. My various mutual funds have been hovering around the 52-week high share price since the 1st of the year. From what I could glean from the Wall Street Journal the markets were "happy" (my paraphrase) that we didn't go off the financial cliff, and then they were "happy" because of what went on with the debt ceiling. Seems kind of kooky to me! I'll watch and wait a bit longer, but would really like to complete this so I can get it off my list for another year.
Mr. H made his Roth contribution also.
Waiting. . . .

CCF - Yes, I probably shouldn't overthink this.
Twest - I think it matters more that you just send it in!
Monthly is a good option if you can't do the whole amount at once. I would rather pay the whole amount up front (when I can) and be done with it. This is my 2013 contribution - already in my Roth and just awaiting allocation to mutual funds. My current age has given me a much greater sense of urgency for retirement savings than I had during my 20's and 30's.
