Roth IRAs

Elderly workers should make sure they have enough fixed-income in their retirement portfolios to spin off cash to cover the gap between income and expenses until the market recovers.

A Roth IRA is a good savings vehicle for workers who expect to move to a higher tax bracket in retirement.

Workers aged 35 have to set aside 11.69% of their pay to keep up with those in their 20s socking away only 6% of their salary.

Sometimes the strategy can eliminate a domino effect of other expensive tax problems down the road, Ed Slott writes.

Parents should ensure that their child has earned an income adequate enough to be able to open an account, among other requirements.

Employees who converted traditional IRA assets into Roth last year can still undo the conversion this year if they are going to pay more in taxes than what they were supposed to gain

A study suggests seniors tend to be healthier and live longer if they continue working past the retirement age, rather than leaving the labor force for good.

Working longer and delaying Social Security could result in a bigger retirement benefit.

Investors are advised to liquidate some assets or transfer them to certificates of deposit and money market funds.

While the funds are ideal for certain people, they don't address important retirement considerations, such as the cost of funding a comfortable living and a person’s savings rate.
