How IRAs work


  • Company pension and other savings plans can help you live a comfortable life when you retire, and you can begin receiving Social Security payments as early as age 62. But even the combination of these two resources may not help you enjoy the lifestyle you desire. Even when Social Security payments are raised, it’s often the case that Medicare payments rise more quickly.
