You said the when you were growing up, you contributed and that your father also matched your contributions and contributed in other ways. This is great and I wish I had done the same when I was younger, but isn't only "earned income" eligible to be put in an IRA? In other words, I thought it would be legit for you to put any earnings you made (even from doing jobs for your parents, so long as you were paid a fair market wage and tracked your hours, etc.), but I didn't think anyone could just "donate" to your IRA. Let me know if I missed something. Great blog by the way, keep it up.Logannoreply@blogger.com
