Roth IRAs are my favorite type of retirement account. One of the best things you can do for your child is get them started early saving that tax free nest egg! Roth IRAs have some very specific rules that must be followed if you want to take advantage of all the tax benefits.

Opening a Roth IRA for a child is a smart financial move that can set them up for a strong financial future. A Roth IRA is a retirement savings account that allows contributions to grow tax-free and offers a number of benefits for children, including the opportunities to save for their future and learn about the importance of financial planning from an early age.
One of the biggest advantages of opening a Roth IRA for a child is the power of compounding interest. By starting to save for retirement at a young age, children have more time for their investments to grow. This can potentially lead to a larger retirement nest egg by the time they reach retirement age.
In addition, contributing to a Roth IRA for a child can also teach them valuable financial lessons. By involving children in the process of saving for their future, parents and guardians can instill good money habits and the importance of long-term financial planning. This can help children grow up to be financially responsible adults.
Another benefit of a Roth IRA for a child is the flexibility it offers. While the funds are intended for retirement, a Roth IRA also allows for penalty-free withdrawals of contributions at any time. This means that the child can access the money if they need it for education expenses, a first home purchase, or other financial needs.
Furthermore, a Roth IRA can benefit a child through tax advantages. Because contributions to a Roth IRA are made with after-tax dollars, the child won’t have to pay taxes when they withdraw the money in retirement. This can be especially advantageous for children who are in a lower tax bracket now compared to what they may be in the future.
Opening a Roth IRA for a child is relatively simple. A custodial Roth IRA can be established on behalf of a minor and managed by a parent or guardian until the child reaches the age of majority. Contributions to the account can be made up to the child’s annual earned income, which can be from things like babysitting, lawn mowing, or other part-time work.
In conclusion, opening a Roth IRA for a child can provide them with a strong financial foundation for the future. With the power of compounding interest, valuable financial lessons, flexibility, and tax advantages, a Roth IRA can be a great way for parents and guardians to help their children build a secure financial future. By starting to save for retirement at a young age, children can have the opportunity to accumulate substantial savings over time and develop good financial habits that can last a lifetime.
almost 30, no kids at the moment but in the process of finding out how to set up/provide a better financial life for my children. I really appreciate your video 😀
We have UGMAs set up for our kids, my oldest will start working later this year, can we set up both a UGMA and Roth IRA for them?
can you do loans against it?
Thank you. A great tip
So how old does the child have to be if they need " earned " income. If someone with a 2 or 3 year old wanted to do this then im assuming you cant since they wouldnt technically work
Thanks
