What is a Roth IRA and how can one go about investing in one?

IRA stands for individual retirement account. A Roth IRA is a retirement account that you put money into in order to invest. The money you put in has already been taxed on your income tax returns. You put money in, invest it, it grows(hopefully), and when you take it out at retirement, the gains on your investments don't get taxed. If you take it out before retirement, however, there are tax penalties, so don't take it out. You can get a Roth IRA for free from most banks and online stock trading companies. Roth IRA's are different from Traditional 401k's in that you put money in a Traditional 401k through your employer pre-tax and the gains get taxed when you take it out at retirement.
