Default Re: SEP IRA Tax Question

[ QUOTE ]
Why should I max out my IRA if I'm 24, and I'd rather not keep my money locked up for 25 years?

Assume 10% interest.

A 15 year old can deposit $5,000 for 3 years and never contribute again and be a millionaire at age 65. A 30 year old needs to contribute $5,000 every year until they're 65 to reach the same amount.
