Oh, also P-C:
Distributions that you take before you are 59 1/2 years of age are taxable and may be subject to early withdrawal penalties. After age 59 1/2, the withdrawals are tax and penalty free.

Thanks, MM! So it...does sound like a good idea. I think the catch is that, say, if I need to take out money, it's out. I can't replace it later and add the maximum contribution on top of that. But that's not really a catch so much because, again, it would have made more money for me in its time than it would have sitting in a savings account.
I ate. Just so everyone stops worrying. Smooches!
MM, is there a limit on what you can make if you're setting up a Roth?
Yes. The maximum contribution goes down incrementally once you hit $95,000 and goes away entirely once you hit $110,000 (it's a little bigger when you're married and file jointly).
(Going out with juliana always gives me wardrobe insecurity.)
No! That's not supposed to happen! I'm sorry! (I have a skirt for you, by the way. Not with me, but something you might like.)
juliana, Emily's going to be late, and it's all my fault :).
What P-C said.
So wait, if one makes over 110K, one can't have a Roth IRA??!
Okay, I looked it up. Partial contributions to 114k ok.
I hate money stuff.
One can't start one. You can't contribute to it anymore, but you can let your money sit there and turn itself into more money.
