Jason appears in his home office with bookshelves visible in the background. He looks directly into the camera, gesturing occasionally for emphasis, and explains the basic concept of an IRA.
Thanks, Emma. An IRA is basically a tax-advantaged account designed specifically for retirement savings. Unlike regular investment accounts, IRAs offer tax benefits that help your money grow more efficiently. Think of it as a special container where you can hold different investments like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.

Jason breaks down the two main types of IRAs—Traditional and Roth—while confidently explaining their unique tax benefits and mentioning other types as well.
Absolutely. The big ones are Traditional and Roth IRAs. With Traditional, you get tax deductions now but pay taxes when you withdraw in retirement. With Roth, it's the opposite—no immediate tax break, but tax-free withdrawals later. There's also SEP and SIMPLE IRAs for self-employed folks, and 401(k) rollovers when changing jobs.
