[Chorus] If you believe in forever, Then life is just a one-night stand. If there's a rock and roll heaven, Well you know they've got a hell of a band, band, band. Jimmy gave us rainbows, And Janis took a piece of our hearts, And Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay. Sing a song to light my fire, Remember Jim that way, They've all found another place, another place to play.
A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account to which you contribute after-tax dollars. Contributions and earnings can grow tax-free, and you can withdraw them tax-free after age 59Â½. Depending on your situation, a Roth IRA can be more flexible than a 401(k) or Traditional IRA.
If you or your spouse do have earned income, you can contribute to a Roth at any age (unlike a traditional IRA, which prohibits contributions starting in the year you turn age 70Â½). To qualify for a Roth IRA in 2007, the adjusted gross income on your joint return must be less than $166,000 ($114,000 for singles).And the amount you can contribute starts to phase out at $156,000 ($99,000 for singles).You can benefit from contributing to a Roth even if you're well into your senior years.f you die with a Roth, your heirs inherit the money income-tax free. If you or your spouse had any earned income last year, you still have until April 17 to open a Roth IRA for 2006. And you can contribute to a 2007 IRA anytime now, too.
