Is now a bad time to open a Roth IRA?

I'm 24 yo, have been meaning to open a Roth IRA for a while now but just haven't gotten around to it, mainly because of how overwhelmed I feel with the plethora of options in terms of choosing WHERE to invest the money. In an effort to gain better control over my personal finances I am hoping to open a Roth IRA, although am feeling overall a bit anxious with all of the market volatility taking place right now.

Is it a bad idea to open a Roth IRA now? If not, do you have any suggestions for how to invest the initial money I put in? any input is greatly appreciated!
