My favorite place to open a ROTH IRA is Vanguard due to their ultra-low fees and great customer service.

Recently just opened up a Roth IRA through TD Ameritrade. 90 days of free trading with at least a $2k minimum deposit made it worth it for me. Always had excellent customer service if I've had to...

Generally speaking, when considering a brokerage for a retirement account that will be filled with index funds Vanguard is quite a bit cheaper than TD Ameritrade.

I think it's going to cost the same no matter you are using TD or Vanguard if you are purchasing a Pimco fund. The only difference is if u r choosing Vanguard fund.

Contribute enough to take advantage of your employer's full match, then swap over to a Roth IRA and max it out. If you have any money left over, put it in the 401(k).

Your post hit on all three of the "bests": Vanguard, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab. My favorite, of course, being Vanguard.

Vanguard is probably one of the best and the lowest fees. They have a 3k minimum.

$9.99 for equity trades with Ameritrade.

Vanguard is the...

If you meet the $25K minimum for Wells Fargo PMA they give you 100 free trades per year for every trading account you have with them. Also good for Roth IRA.
