Choose the Way You Save
There are two main types of individual retirement accounts (IRAs): Traditional and Roth. The eligibility requirements differ some, but ultimately the decision between a Traditional IRA or a Roth IRA depends on your income and your specific financial needs. Both offer flexibility, accessibility, and valuable tax benefits. Plus, with an annual contribution limit of $6,500 up to the age of 50 or $7,500 for ages 50 or older, you’ll be well on your way saving for a great retirement.
