can you contribute to roth ira in retirement
Although you can contribute to a Roth IRA during your retirement years, you cannot contribute unlimited amounts of money. The IRS enforces contribution limits for traditional and Roth IRAs regardless of age. In 2010, for example, you could contribute $6,000 if you are older than 50.
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.
