How do I set up and IRA?
How do I decided which IRA is best for me? What is the IRA catch-up? Is there a financial website that will give me more information on IRAs? Will there be tax advantages to opening one?

Setting up an IRA account is an excellent way to establish a nest egg for retirement. There are different types available that yield different results, deciding on which one is best for you is dependent on your specific situation and your needs.
Here are the steps to take in order to set up an IRA account:
1. First decide if you want a Roth IRA or Traditional IRA.
* A Roth IRA accumulates interest tax free but does not allow for a current-year
tax deduction.
* A Traditional IRA will allow you to take a current-year tax deduction.
2. Decide if you want to invest your money with a mutual fund company, employer, stockbroker, bank, or other financial intuition.
3. Once you have made your decision, complete and submit all required forms to open the account along with a check for the amount you wish to fund.
4. Along with your application you will not to establish exactly where you want your money to be invested (i.e. stocks, mutual funds, index funds).
After this step you can just sit back and watch your money grow.
Additionally, if you were unable to invest in a IRA earlier in life you also have the option of a catch-up IRA which is reserved for individuals who are 50 years and older.
