You could wonder, “What’s in a name?” Isn’t it important that people get your name right because it is an expression of your personality? Ira Khan, the daughter of actor Aamir Khan, is adamant that her name be pronounced correctly. That’s why she just shared a video on Instagram informing her followers that the proper way to address her is ‘Eye-ra,’ not ‘Ee-ra.’
Is it pronounced IRA or IRA?
First and foremost, how in the world do you pronounce these terms? As it turns out, you have two options. Some people refer to them as Iras (eye-ruhs), while others refer to them as I.R.A.s (eye-are-ays).
Spoiler alert: you’ll still want money when you’re old and wrinkled. What’s more, guess what? You won’t have any money because you won’t have a job (hello, retirement!). So, how are you expected to proceed?
Traditional IRAs
Traditional IRAs allow you to put money in before taxes. That means if you earn $40,000 a year and contribute $5,000 to a Traditional IRA, you’ll only pay taxes on $35,000 ($40,000-$5,000) in that year. Isn’t that appealing? Then, when you withdraw the funds from the account (probably after you retire), you’ll have to pay taxes on that $5,000. Because you’ll be earning less (or nothing) by then, you’ll pay less tax because you’ll be in a lower tax band.
Roth IRAs
Roth IRAs, on the other hand, have the reverse effect. If you earn $40,000 and contribute $5,000 to a Roth IRA, you will still be taxed on that amount (as your granny would say, phooey). When you’re in your 60s and ready to retire, though, you can access that money without incurring a tax penalty. This will free up more time for salsa lessons and bunion shoe insoles.
Remember that pulling money out of your IRA carries a penalty, so only put money in there if you’re certain you won’t need it until you retire. And just because you’re not making $40K right now doesn’t mean you can’t start saving for your golden years. Making money is a wonderful idea regardless of the amount.
While retirement may appear to be a long way offand it isit is never too early to begin planning. Some children begin contributing to IRAs as early as the age of seven. Seven!

Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) are tax-advantaged savings accounts that people can utilize to save and invest for the long term.
An IRA, like a 401(k) plan that a person receives as a perk from their employer, is intended to encourage people to save for retirement. Anyone with a source of income can open an IRA and benefit from the tax advantages it provides.

Is Ira an Irish name?
Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, many paramilitary organizations in Ireland were known as the Irish Republican Army (IRA). This name has been given to organizations dedicated to Irish republicanism, the view that Ireland as a whole should be an independent republic free of British domination.
The original Irish Republican Army (19191922), also known as the “old IRA,” was formed in 1917 from members of the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army, and later reinforced by Irishmen who had previously served in the British Army during World War I and returned to Ireland to fight against Britain in the Irish War of Independence. This IRA was the revolutionary Irish Republic’s army, according to Irish law, as announced by the Irish parliament, Dáil Éireann, in 1919.
The original IRA was reorganized, modified, and divided numerous times during the next century, to the point where many succeeding paramilitary organizations most notably the Provisional Irish Republican Army, which was a prominent participant during the Troubles were known by that name. Each of the modern IRA organizations claims exclusive rights to use the name, claiming to be the only true successors of the original IRA.
What are the 3 types of IRA?
- Traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA). Contributions are frequently tax deductible. IRA earnings are tax-free until withdrawals are made, at which point they are taxed as income.
- Roth IRA stands for Roth Individual Retirement Account. Contributions are made with after-tax dollars and are not tax deductible, but earnings and withdrawals are.
- SEP IRA. Allows an employer, usually a small business or a self-employed individual, to contribute to a regular IRA in the employee’s name.
- INVEST IN A SIMPLE IRA. Is open to small firms that don’t have access to another retirement savings plan. SIMPLE IRAs allow company and employee contributions, similar to 401(k) plans, but with simpler, less expensive administration and lower contribution limitations.
Is a 401K an IRA?
