Jose -- A ROTH IRA is the best thing that ever happened to the American SAVER.... because you could put $4000 in there and it could go to a MILLION and upon retirement (proper age per the rules) you could pull out the retirement amount (again - allowed by the rules) and have NO TAXES....

Dude! It just doesn't get any better than that!

So yes - by all means - if you qualify for - and can contribute to a ROTH - HELL YES! Pound it! That's free money!
