I would like to open a roth IRA with Vanguard and I don’t believe that they have any offices in Pittsburgh, PA. I noticed on their web-stie that you can do it easily online but it requires a lot of sensitive information such as account and routing numbers to get money (I am planning on doing max $ 5000) transferred/invested. Can someone assure me that this is normal and safe and that I can set it up online.

Much appreciated!

In general it is safe to do this online. You might possibly have a problem if you have a key-logging virus on your computer. If you don’t want to do it online, you can download forms from their website, and mail them in.

One that takes what you’ve already invested, what you will invest per year for x amount of years and gives you an amount based on compounded interest?
