401k and IRA Investing: Begin Now!
Savings for retirement in a 401K plan is a very smart idea and you should begin making contributions as soon as possible. 401K retirement contributions are made through your employer so if you are self employed you should start an IRA or Individual Retirement Account. Employees make contributions directly from their salary and this money is not taxed. Make sure you follow all IRA rules and 401k rules, as they have some variances. The IRS actually came up with the name 401K as it was from the code that originally created the retirement funds.
