Saving for Retirement with a myRA (my Retirement Account)
October 18 – 23 is National Save for Retirement Week and it’s a perfect time to establish your retirement goals and take the first step toward meeting them. If you’re looking for a way to save but don’t have access to a retirement savings plan through work – or haven’t found an easy way to get started – you may want to consider myRA (my Retirement Account).
What is myRA?
myRA is a retirement savings account developed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury that provides a simple, safe, and affordable way to start saving for retirement. It costs nothing to open a myRA account and there are no fees. You can choose to save an amount that fits your budget1, and the account carries no risk of losing money. In addition, you can transfer or roll over your savings to a private-sector Roth IRA at any time.
