If I retired in February 2008 and will only gross $5000 total income
for the year, can I contribute $6000 to a Roth IRA and $5000 to a
traditional IRA for 2008? Does interest and dividend income have any
effect on what I can contribute? Do I understand the rules correctly
that I cannot make contributions unless I am employed?
