Retirement may be decades away, but it's never too early to start investing, even just a small amount at a time.
Make the most of your 401(k) employer match
Consider opening an individual retirement account (IRA)
You may want to think about opening an IRA in addition to or instead of a 401(k) plan if your employer doesn't offer one. Even if you have a 401(k), you may have more investment choices through an IRA.Whether you choose a Traditional or Roth IRA will depend largely on your income and age. (If you're a small business owner, you may also be able to contribute to a small business IRA).
Traditional IRA
Your contributions can grow tax-deferred (you don't pay taxes until you take a distribution, unless you've made a non-deductible contribution). Contributions may also be tax deductible.
Roth IRA
Looking for more ways to save & invest? Max out your 401(k)
If you're able to save and invest more, keep it going and make additional contributions to your 401(k). This could set you on a good track for the future and reduce your income tax burden even more. You can also contribute to an IRA.View the most current 401(k) and IRA contribution limits.
