Other than social security, there are other plans that I can utilize to save for my retirement. One of them than I can utilize is an employer-sponsored retirement plan. According to Ilmanen, Kabiller, Siegel, & Sullivan (2017), an employer-sponsored plan is designed to help employees save for their retirement. In this plan, both an employee and employer contributions to the savings at the end of each month. The funds are invested on behalf of employees, and they begin to make withdrawals after retirements. Basically, this type of retirement plan is tax-deferred, meaning that a person begins paying taxes immediately after they begin withdrawing their savings. However, there are other plans that taxes are not postponed; instead, retirees make tax free withdrawals. Some of the retirement plans offered by employers include 401 (K) and IRA. An employer usually sponsors a 401(k) plan. It allows an employee to make savings or invest before their income is taxed.
