Saving adequate
amounts of money is one of the most important things a consumer can do
to secure a comfortable retirement. There are several vehicles available
in order to start accumulating savings for retirement. These vehicles
may differ in method, but they all share the goal of allowing the investor
to save the money needed in order to have a sound retirement. Three of
the more common ways to save money are in individual retirement accounts
(IRA), 401(k)s, and annuities. These and more methods will be covered
