Roth IRAs and Required Minimum Distributions: Today’s Slott Report Mailbag

QUESTION:

My wife and I created a Roth IRA when our two children were young to pay for their college education. Our daughter is finishing her second year of school, and our son will be entering college this fall. We have withdrawn $30,000 so far from our contributions to pay her expenses. The current value of the Roth IRA is over $150,000.
