"Working at a tender age is an American tradition. I'm sure lots of kids did just that over the summer, and some are still be doing it after school and over the weekends. What isn't so traditional is the notion of kids contributing to their own Roth IRAs. It should be a tradition, because it's such a good idea. Here's the scoop." "Encouraging your working kid to make Roth IRA contributions is a great way to introduce the ideas of saving and investing for the future. Plus there are tax advantages.
