The big idea
AI can explain Roth IRA basics for teens with earned income, but you'll need a parent and a brokerage to actually open one.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'Explain why a Roth IRA is great for a 16-year-old with summer job income.'
- Ask AI to show how $500/year at 17 compounds to age 65.
- Have AI list 3 brokerages that offer custodial Roth IRAs.
Try it!
Ask AI to calculate the value at 65 of $1,000 at age 16 with 7% growth. Screenshot the number.
