Anyone who earned income I can invest it, up to $2,000 a year, into a Roth IRA, as long as the AGI is below $95,000 ($150,000 for couples). Reduced contribu tions are allowed for incomes up to $110,000 for singles, $160,000 for couples. In addi tion, a working spouse can open a Roth for his or her| non-working partner. Roth IRAs are super vehicles I for youngsters with earned income from baby-sitting or paper route.

It’s even legal to use money from a j custodial account. There’s no age limit on con tributions, so seniors can open I Roths, too.
