401K IRA

By Raul Dutton

Planning for retirement is a vital part of life. No one wishes to be dependent on their loved ones for financial support when they are older, and no one wants to work until the day they die.

How do we avoid that? There are many different retirement planning methods to choose from. I'd like to discuss briefly an IRA and a 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 employer has to have so many dollars on hand for everything in each employee's benefit package. So by offering to match your contributions, they are encouraging you to invest in the 401k fund, and they thus get more on hand dollars to invest and to claim.

Another reason is that they can use the funds to invest and actually make money from your contributions, thus allowing them to pay you back at time of retirement with the earnings from your own contributed dollars.

An IRA is also called an Individual Retirement Account. They help ease the strain on Social Security by allowing benefints and incentive to the account holder for investing in their own retirement instead of relying solely on their 401K offered by their employer. Because if the employer goes down the 401K is litterally worthless.

There are many types of IRA and each person would do well to research them thoroughly to find out which is the best for their circumstances.
