[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. If this money isn't taxable (and I cannot see how a $15-year-old's summer salary is), what benefit is a Roth at this point? Why not put it in a no or low fee index fund? There's nothing to lose, and then the money is available to them as young adults to help with a down payment, student loans, etc. I cannot believe any real financial advisor would advise this--only if they're getting a commission on that IRA. Truly, makes no sense to me. [/quote] Thats the best part for teens! Their income is usually not enough to be taxable...and once it is in a Roth it will NEVER be taxed. Its a huge benefit for young people and they should take advantage if at all possible.[/quote]
