When to Choose a Traditional IRA
A Traditional IRA is a great choice for anyone with earned income who wants to save money for their retirement. In a Traditional IRA, your money grows tax-deferred, meaning you don’t pay taxes on earnings until you make withdrawals in retirement.
An IRA-eligible Certificate of Deposit (CD) provides a secure and stable option for your retirement savings. This approach allows you to safeguard your funds from the volatility of riskier investments, retain the tax advantages associated with an IRA, and earn a reliable, fixed interest rate.
By choosing a CD, you can effectively balance security and growth for your retirement portfolio.
What are the Benefits of a Traditional IRA?
- Your IRA contributions may be tax-deductible*
- A Traditional IRA can be consolidated with other personal IRAs
- North Shore Bank Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are FDIC-insured
When to Choose a Roth IRA
