Let Our Family Help

Our Family - Britt, Jen, Samantha, and Tommy

When our daughter Samantha was born, we wanted to start a college savings plan for her, and one option we considered was using our Roth IRA.

Using our Roth IRA for this purpose was a totally new concept for us. So naturally, we had a lot of questions.

Surfing the Web for answers, we quickly learned that such detailed information isn't readily available on the Internet. Only a handful of sites offer more than a passing overview of the Roth IRA.

So how did we ultimately find the answers?

We read as much as we could, both online and offline, and we soaked up all the Roth IRA information available to us - including all the detailed IRS documents on the rules and regulations of Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) on IRS.gov.

As a result, our family now knows more about our Roth IRAs than we'll ever need to know. We know the strategies to embrace and the pitfalls to avoid. And, through this website, we hope to share with you everything we've learned.

So hang around for a while! You can learn more about us and how we invest in our own Roth IRA as well as browse a number of articles on Roth IRA rules and investing tips.

Still Can't Find It?

If you're searching for a specific piece of Roth IRA information, and you can't find it in the Nav Bar in the left-hand column of this site, use the "Search This Site" box in the upper-lefthand corner.
