I read your suggestion of making Roth contributions for children. How can this be done for children under age 3?

Hello Bob,
The children have to earn the income, so this strategy becomes more practical as they become older.
Sometimes there are opportunities in family businesses for small children to be compensated for participating in advertising, like television commercials for auto dealerships. There is also the "child talent" situation for other commercial advertisements, movies and television shows.
Good luck!
