Save for college: IRA ins, outs
I am 61, self-employed and have a 13-year-old child, whom I adopted as a single parent. He's an excellent student. I have no savings. I pay taxes on about $20,000 of income a year. I intend to work until 70. (When I'm 62 years and 6 months, I can collect $750 per month for myself and $250 for my child from Social Security. If I wait longer, I'll collect $1,000 for myself and $500 for him.) It's possible that I may get a full-time job at $50,000.
