Can You Have Two Roth IRA Accounts? 
That is a great question ! You can , and it 's not a bad idea to have a couple of them with different investment types to fund them The only drawback is that you can only deposit a total of $ 5500 a year -LRB- $ 6500 if you are 50 + -RRB- between all of them . The growth potential of all of them receiving a minimum contribution is less than the growth potential of one being funded fully . There are some good strategies that I 'd suggest , if you want to contact me . Thanks for asking !
