What Kind Of Account Is A Roth IRA? 
That is a great question ! A Roth IRA is an Individual retirement Account that is designed to allow you to contribute up to $ 5500 -LRB- $ 6500 if you are 50 or over -RRB- a year for your retirement . It is an excellent vehicle for saving for your retirement , since the money that you put into it is after-tax money , making the money that you pull for retirement tax free . you can continue to contribute to this account for as long as you 'd like , and there is no requirement for when , or how much , you need to withdraw from it . If you would like to discuss how this kind of account might work for you , please feel free to contact me , and I 'll go over it with you . Thanks for asking !
