Traditional IRA in both cases

Let's take the absurd scenario where she has $50K to invest

No, the IRA contribution limits are $5,500/year

So what are her options at that point?

Indy Coug

Invest the funds in a non-qualified account.

This is true. Lots of smart $ people on CB

Not immediately. If she's under the age of 50

This is correct. Key is earned income.

Bronco Mendenhill

Under both scenarios an IRA/Roth IRA is an option
