All you young whippersnappers on Hubski. Start now. Before you are 21, buy your first IRA. Do it. Now. Never touch it.

Your IRAs have such low contribution limits. Our RRSPs here in Canada allow up to 18% of your total income or about $25,000, whichever is less.

And our TFSAs, which are equivalent to the Roth IRAs that you linked to, have a slightly smaller yearly contribution limit, but in our case it's cumulative, so if you contributed $5,000 but withdrew it all for something, the next year you could contribute up to $10,000, to make up for the $5,000 you withdrew. I don't see any indication you can do that with IRAs.
