You can also put money in a Roth IRA for a child if they earn an income mowing lawns or babysitting. Just keep excellent records. Maxing out a Roth IRA for a child while still in high school or even middle school can translate into millions of additional nest egg savings in retirement thanks to extra years of compounding interest.
