Rolled over an old Roth; accelerated my year 1 base

Wanted to share a move that meaningfully sped up my starting base. I had an old Roth from a previous job's provider sitting in a target-date fund doing very little. I did a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer into the brokerage I run the system in.

Because it was already Roth money, there was no tax event and no contribution-limit issue; a transfer between Roth accounts isn't a new contribution. That let me start the system with a much larger base than the annual contribution cap would have allowed.

Not advice, obviously; check your own situation and talk to a tax professional. But if you have old Roth dollars sitting idle, it's worth understanding the difference between a transfer and a contribution.
