What's an IRA?
An Individual Retirement Account is a personal retirement savings plan that allows you to contribute up to two grand a year!. Well, that's nice and all. But what's really in it for you?

What's So Great About IRAs?
  • You Keep More Money
    An IRA is a (legal!) way for you to keep more of your money from Uncle Sam. And it's possible you have a delightful choice: Do you want to save on taxes now with a traditional IRA or when you retire with a Roth IRA?
  • The Power of Compounding
    Every dollar you invest today will work for you, earning interest, until that golden day in the future when you're ready to retire.
  • It's Still Possible This Year
    You have until April 16th to make your maximum allowable contribution for the year 2000. Each contribution means additional tax benefits and more money in your retirement nest egg.
