Retirement Planning

After spending most of their lives working, commuting, and having the boss looking over their shoulder, this freedom sounds wonderful.

100 years age, there were no pension plans or tax-advantaged retirement savings accounts. It was about that time that businesses, unions, and government agencies began offering pensions to workers who gave many years of service to the organization. Most workers, however, did not fall under such plans or did not work long enough in one place to become “vested” and qualify for the benefits.

Even today, about 1/2 of American workers work for some kind of small business without a pension or retirement plan. Many of these people, however, are taking advantage of tax-advantaged retirement accounts called Individual Retirement Accounts, or IRAs.
