Benefits of remaining in Small Roth IRA

[Guest bobhjf]

What benefit is it to roll a Roth over as opposed to just putting it in Savings or spending it. Thanks, Bob

You need to provide some additional details to get a good answer. First, what is the source of the funds? Is it funds from an employee plan, becoming a beneficary of another persons IRA, one of your own IRAs? You might have a tax impact if you don't roll over the funds, but I can't tell from the limited info you have provided. What is your age? If you beyond retirement age, the answer could be completely different than if you are in your 20s. What is the approximate dollar amount?

Savings? Are you talking about general investing, or do you mean savings accounts or CDs? When are you thinking of using these funds, now or 3 decades from now?

You need to provide a little more info. Please post again.
