I recall the days when I had earned income. Now unfortunately or fortunately I have moved beyond that phase in life. A few years ago, my IRA received a 50% haircut so nowadays I play with the remaining money quite conservatively, so its growing in the 5% neighborhood. At least it is growing again. I am not sure what you mean by an "IRA provider". I used to have a Keogh account which I combined into my IRA recently to reduce tax form filing requirements. Schwab holds my IRA money and they don't really provide much advice. The CPA I use is quite conservative and conventional, I appreciate these characteristics in her work so I don't look for her to come up with creative solutions in my life. You might have noticed from prior posts in this thread that I am grappling with estate issues currently. Hopefully that is long range planning on my part.
