Planning for the future is super important. Nobody wants to still be working when they are 70 years old, and no one wants to have to depend on their children to take care of them financially.
We have many different retirement accounts and funds to plan for retirement, and I'd like to talk about 2 very popular ones, the IRA and the 401K.
IRA 401K Almost all companies offer a 401k plan to their employees. In most cases, they will match your contributions 100% for a specified number of years or total amount.nThey have their reasons.
The law requires employers to maintain so many dollars for the benefits they grant employees. This is in hopes of avoiding more cases like Enron had. When they are encouraging the workers to contribute to the fund, they get more dollars to back their package up.
Too, they will usually take the funds and invest in either in-house business or market funds. This generates earnings from the money you the worker has contributed. So when you retire they get to pay you back with mostly your money or the earnings from your own money.
An IRA is an Individual Retirement Account. This is an account created by the government to encourage people to start investing for their own retirement rather than relying completely on the 401k plan their company offers or the Social Security system. By encouraging us to plan for our retirement, they ease the strain on the Social Security.
Many differnt IRA's exist to suit different people's needs. Research them and talk to a financial advisor to find which one is right for you. - 15224
