401K IRA
It is vital that we plan for our future retirement. No one wants to work until they die or be forced to rely on their loved ones to support 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 Most all employers offer a 401K fund as part of their package of benefits. They will also often offer incentives for you to contribute to that fund. One popular way of doing that is to match every dollar you contribute for so many years or to a certain total per year. They do this for a couple 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.
Also, they get to earn more money from the money you contribute to the fund whether by investing in the market or using in their own business. So when it comes time to pay it back to you, they will be paying you back with mostly your money and the earnings from the money you contributed.
IRA stands for Individual Retirement Account. The purpose of these accounts is to make people want to invest in their retirement to kind of take it easy on the social security system. Too many people rely on their 401K and then their company goes under. Then they are left eith no retirement.
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.
