I am not too happy about the minium balance I have to keep to get my fees waived at Schwab. Any other good choice out there?

Trust me, if you put the words IRA or Broker or whatever into the search function here, you will find tons of recommendations from fat wallet users. Give it a try!

Try Ameritrade, it does not have any restriction on minimums or inactivity period. It has cool tools which I hardly use.

Scottrade does not charge a low-balance fee or annual IRA custodial fee. Some credit unions like Boeing Employees Credit Union do not impose these fees.
SeattleNative said: FYI, see Individual Retirement Arrangement FAQ for some useful Internal Revenue Service facts about these accounts - including the correct title. That's the correct title for that IRS publication. That does not mean it's the correct meaning of "IRA."
"Individual Retirement Arrangement" is just a name made up by the IRS. The Code and regs don't use it. Neither says outright what "IRA" stands for, though the regs imply it's "individual retirement account." In any case, it's obvious the OP is talking about an individual retirement account, not an annuity, so it would be correct to use that term even if IRA meant "individual retirement arrangement."
The IRS doesn't get to decide what Congress meant when it picked that name.
