Why, That Was Easy
I had been putting off my 2002 IRA contribution. Why? I don't know. I had the submission money just sitting there. Probably because I was nervous about tying up my money in my first year of free-lancing.
Anyway, inside of a half hour, while talking to friends on iChat, I was able to open a new Roth IRA account at ETRADE, activate it, link it to my checking account, and fund it. No telephone, no forms, no stamps. I only had to get up to find my checkbook. That was so easy!
