If you doubt that a youngster would see the wisdom of locking away his or her earnings for decades, don't worry. ![]() ![]() ![]() If the 10-year-old continues to contribute $500 until 59, he will have a nest egg of $233,308 at age 60. That compares with $97,084 for a Roth IRA owner who contributes $500 a year from the ages of 22 to 59. According to a study by Haug and co-author Adrienne Cichelli, a child who contributes $500 a year for just nine years from the ages of 10 to 18 will accumulate $111,982 by the time he reaches 60, assuming an average annual return of 7.2%. Indeed, those early contributions can pay off big time, says Mark Haug, a teaching fellow at the University of Kansas's business school. "Roth IRAs can be a fabulous tax-free growth opportunity for grandchildren because they are investing early and investing young," says James Lange, author of Retire Secure!: Pay Taxes Later (Wiley, $25). To help your grandkids build a nest egg with a Roth IRA, they need earned income, whether it's money from raking leaves or a stint as a lifeguard.

She can put her earnings into the Roth - or she can keep the cash and you can make contributions for her.

What Rachel doesn’t expect is the manwhore she expects is actually a decent person who she begins to care about. This is the break that she wants in her career, but it requires her to lie about her intentions.
