New company doesn't allow 401k deposits for 6 months, what to do with money I used to deposit?
Short answer is fund a Roth.   If you are under 50 then you can put in $5500 or $6500 if you are older. Great to have money in two buckets one pre tax and one post tax.  Plus you can be aggressive putting money in it because you can always take money you put in the Roth out of the Roth with no tax or penalty.   Taxes are historically low so it makes a lot of sense to diversify your retirement.
