As long as you have enough income to cover both your contribution and your spouses, you can make the contribution. That can turn a $5000 contribution into a $10,000 contribution ($12,000 if you’re both 50 or older).

The Roth also lets you continue to build your retirement portfolio after you retire–which will be important since most people will live 20-30 years past retirement.
