SAVE FOR THE FUTURE

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

FINANCING YOUR FUTURE

Saving Today for a Brighter Tomorrow

You’ve worked hard your whole life, your future shouldn’t depend on good luck or good timing. An IRA helps you save steadily over the long haul, with dividends that grow year after year, plus potential tax advantages to put more bucks in your back pocket.

IRAs work best for:

THE BASICS

Traditional vs. Roth IRAs

Somerville's Credit Union offers two types of IRA, each with its own benefits. Get to know the top-level differences to help make a smart choice for your situation.

PRODUCT

Traditional IRA

at a glance
Save now, pay later.
UNCLE SAM'S CUT
A traditional IRA is typically tax-deductible now, but you’ll pay Uncle Sam when you withdraw it at retirement.
WHY GO FOR IT?
If you’ll have low-to-no debt in retirement, you may be able to handle the tax burden then—so save now.
Roth IRA
Pay now, save later.
Taxes are paid per contribution to your Roth IRA. That means it’s all gravy come retirement.
If your income’s on the up, pay the taxes now so you’re not hit with more later.
DECISION GUIDE

Is an IRA Right for You?

You’ve got a vision for the future and the commitment to get there.
