The Custodial Roth IRA Playbook: Building Tax-Free Wealth for Your Child

What if your child's first summer job, babysitting income, or part-time paycheck could become the seed of lifelong tax-free wealth? The Custodial Roth IRA Playbook answers the question many parents don't realize they should be asking: how do you turn a teen's earned income into a smart, legal, long-term financial advantage? If you want practical guidance, fewer money mistakes, and a head start that can last for decades, this book is for you.

Inside, you'll discover why starting early matters so much more than most families think, how the IRS rules actually work for kids and teens, and what counts as real earned income versus money that does not qualify. You'll learn how to open and manage the account correctly, avoid common compliance pitfalls, and build a simple investment approach designed to compound over forty to sixty years. You'll also see how to balance flexibility with discipline, so the account supports life goals without losing its deeper purpose.

What makes this book different is its clear, parent-friendly voice. It translates tax rules, account mechanics, and investing decisions into everyday language, relatable examples, and practical next steps. More than a guide to an account, it is a guide to raising a financially confident young investor.
