IRAs

You cannot keep funds in your traditional individual retirement account indefinitely. You must begin receiving distributions -- even if its only the minimum amount -- by April 1 of the year following the year you turn 70½. Additional contributions cannot be made to your individual retirement account either.

A Roth IRA doesn't have the same restrictions. You can be any age and still contribute. And you can leave money in your Roth for as long as you live.
