Hi Bruce,
Just got back yesterday from a state bowling tournament. Have been out of touch for the past two days. My doubles partner ended up in a hospital with a nose bleed that wouldn't stop so they gave me a new substitute partner with a 192 average. He did great, I did good. So as of this weekend we are in 16th place in the state.

As to the Roth IRA.

Assuming a 28% tax bracket and a $100,000 IRA. You would have to pay about $7,000 each year for the next 3 years in taxes. If you get an average return in the market (11%) at the end of 4 years you would have little over %150,000 or a $25000 gain on your $28000 "investment" with Uncle. The two key issues the way I see it are:
#1 Life expectancy
#2 Whether or not you have the funds available to pay the tax without having to take the money from your investments.
We're kind of lucky the way I see it since we just sold our business in January. After we finished off the mortgage we still have enough cash left over to take care of the taxes and then some.
Bernie
