"This is financial adviser, Patrick Munro, talking about the complex world of IRA's. Actually, IRA's can be complex, and the tax law that surrounds them, certainly is complex, but as a working individual, it's important for you to know the basics, and you can get by with that. It allows you, an IRA, to save money in the taxation year that you're facing, as a working American. You can place money in up to a limit, and receive a tax deduction based on the amount of money, that you place into that investment. This is a good course of action, because, your working life you earn many, many dollars, over a million dollars, for the typical worker, but we have a very poor savings rate, the individual savings rate in America, so this is mandatory required savings, if you take advantage of it, and your benefit long term, in your retiring older years, is that there will be a nest egg, as it's called, for you to draw on for income, when you don't have any income, because you've retired from your job. This is Patrick Munro, talking about the benefits of an IRA."
