I have about a grand left over each month, and instead of throwing it into a savings account, im thinking about Roth IRAs.. are they any good?

I took my money out of CD at 6% and spent all of it I could cry. Then 9/11 happened so I wont be getting that rate again even with a low cut top..

Yeah, I have a lot in a Roth IRA that was set up for me when I was real young. It's tax free, meaning that when you turn 59 1/2 you're not taxed on any gains, but there is a penalty to draw it out early. It has it's good and bad points. You should check out fool.com, there's a lot of good articles on Roth and Traditional IRAs.
