Let’s start planning for the future you deserve. 🚀

  1. Understanding 401(k), IRA & Roth IRA Accounts

What is a 401(k)?

A 401(k) is an employer-sponsored retirement plan where employees contribute pre-tax money, reducing taxable income.

🔹 Why It’s Great:

✅ Employer Match — Free money! Some companies match 3 — 6% of your salary.

✅ Tax-Deferred Growth — Pay taxes later when you withdraw in retirement.
