Edward Jones offers the Roth IRA

Published 6:57 pm Thursday, October 2, 2008

Elaine Weber, of the Edward Jones investment firm in Snoqualmie, is

offering a new way to save for retirement with Roth IRAs. The Roth

IRA allows individuals to set aside $2,000 annually that is potentially

tax-free and penalty-free. Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax deductible.

However, the Roth IRA does allow for tax-free and penalty-free

distributions, which can be taken after five years from the tax year of the first

contribution. Distributions can also be taken when reaching age 59 1/2, for a

first-time home purchase, or for death or disability.

For more information on this investment opportunity call Elaine
