Roth IRA
Why Roth IRA is considered to be flexible?
Roth IRA can be opened in any financial institution that allows the individual to open an account. It can be a good Bank or a reputed Brokerage firm. Moreover, Age is not a qualifier; anyone at any age can start contributing to Roth IRA as long as they have earned income.
In addition to that, depending on one’s income limit, the money has to be contributed. This contribution money does not change and is post tax. So, one has a clear idea how much he would hold during the retirement years.
One can open an individual Roth IRA or a Spousal Roth IRA. For Spousal Roth IRA, the couple needs to file joint tax returns each year. In Spousal Roth IRA, each individual has the same rights when it comes to managing the account. Moreover, Roth IRA lets the individual withdraw the contribution (not the earnings or interest) before 59 and half years of age without penalties.
The other provision is the consideration that the individual can die before the withdrawals are permitted along with interest, which is the age of 59 and half. So, the heirs can withdraw money upon death and if the spouse is the heir, then she can treat the account as her own and keep contributing or withdraw depending on her choice.
Apart from the insurance number that is required to open Roth IRA, nothing else needs to be remembered and it is very easy to open. It can be easily done online as well. The tax deduction from the contribution is easily done through an automated computer system so one can avoid doing the Math all the time.
However, despite the calculations being so easy it is important to consult a financial expert who knows which investment would work better for the individual.
