Individual Retirement Accounts
(IRAs)
Planning for your retirement can not begin too
soon. And with compound interest, the earlier you start that more
you'll have when it's time to retire. The U.S. Government has
provided you and your family a number of retirement savings
vehicles. Honda Federal Credit Union offers you some conservative
and well-protected retirement savings products.
Which IRA is best for you?
Selecting the appropriate IRA for your needs
depends upon your individual economic situation and the taxes that
you will pay on each type of IRA. The table below highlights some of
the differences. We recommend that you consult with a professional
tax advisor to select your best option.
