Rudey, do you know anything about Vanguard's Target 2045? I know there are others like it, but Vanguard sounds the best for me. It doesn't have a contribution limit like the IRAs do.
I don't know about it that much but that is a fund. It's not an IRA. Think about it like this.

An IRA is a type of brokerage account essentially. You can invest in anything traded publicly within that IRA account. One of the items you can invest in is the Vanguard fund you mentioned.

I don't make investment recommendations to people, but I don't think anyone should invest in one fund, one company, one sector, or one product group.
