Hi everyone,
 I am 25 years old and have been self-employed for over 2 years now
(first year part time, second year full time) and 2006 is the start of
my third year in business. I am the only employee in this business and
my dad is the owner. My dad plans to transfer over ownership to me in
about a year...and the reason why he did it this way was because I had
no business credit, etc when starting off.

I want to start investing into an IRA and was getting a ton of
different opinions on how to start. I even had one CPA tell me that I
was "too young" to start investing. I know this is not correct....but
what could possible be a reason for saying that? Isn't it the earlier,
the better?

During my first year, I made 14,000 after taxes, but during the second
year i made 30,000 and so far this year I'm slated for about 40k or so.
I am not sure if that info is needed, but figured I'd lay it out there
in case.

My question: What IRA is best for me? SEP-IRA? Roth IRA?

I am currently reading Personal Financing for Dummies....don't laugh.
Help!
