Or, if the guy has a Traditional IRA, then it may very well
make sense to convert it to a Roth. Overall point being that
Roth IRAs can be a financially rational choice at any age,
depending on mostly tax bracket considerations. (I know some
60-something folks converting their Traditional IRAs and
also contributing to Roths, for all the reasons listed so
far.)
