How to Start Saving for Retirement with an IRA

December 14, 2022

An individual retirement account (IRA) is a type of personal retirement plan offered by many different financial institutions (such as banks, credit unions, brokerage and investment firms) that provides preferential tax treatment on retirement savings, usually through tax-free growth or tax-deferred growth. Tax-deferred growth means you don’t pay taxes on the earnings until you withdraw the money. IRAs are directly managed by the accountholder, while other types of retirement accounts, such as 401(k) accounts or pensions, are usually administered by employers.

December 07 2022

Fake checks are big business for crooks, and their ability to convince victims that they are reliable people or businesses means that everyone should be careful when receiving a check from a stranger. But many people aren’t careful. According to the U.S. government’s Federal Trade Commission “Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book 2021”: “The median loss for all fraud reports in 2021 is $500. Among the top 10 frauds reported, the median individual losses were highest in these categories: Investment Related ($3,000) and Foreign Money Offers and Counterfeit Check Scams ($2,000)…”, while the report also showed that last year there were almost 70,000 reports of fraud resulting in approximately $130 million in losses from payment apps or services.
