If I start a Roth IRA in a couple weeks, and keep contributing $7k per year to it, for years & decades, When will it pay off? When can it be money for me to spend?

And does it multiply while it’s invested in the Roth IRA?

You can take the principle out without penalty. Profits need to wait until 59 1/2 to be penalty free.

As a note, you can’t “borrow” from a roth. So if you withdraw principle, you’re limited by the max contribution rate in building up the principle again.

So while it’s penalty free, there are limitations to keep in mind.
