What is an IRA?
An Individual Retirement Account is one of the best ways to save for retirement. You can deposit a certain portion of your earnings into an IRA to receive certain tax advantages. The money then can be invested in stocks, bonds and other assets, which may accrue in value over time. This may help you stretch your money even further in retirement. You can manage your investments as you see fit to stay in control of your finances.
However, once your money goes into an IRA, you may have to pay a penalty if you take it out before you reach a certain age. The terms and conditions vary based on the type of IRA, so make sure you find the right choice for your finances.
Traditional and Roth IRA: what's the difference?
Traditional and Roth IRAs each offer unique tax advantages to help you save for retirement. What's the difference?
