Why Contribute to a Roth IRA?

A Roth IRA offers numerous benefits for retirement savings:

  • Tax-Free Growth: Your earnings grow tax-free, and qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free as well.
  • Flexible Contributions: You can contribute to a Roth IRA at any time during the year, as long as you meet income limits.
  • No Required Minimum Distributions: Unlike traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs do not require minimum distributions during your lifetime, giving you greater control over your retirement funds.
