IRA & 401(k)
An IRA is a retirement savings option available to anyone with earned income (or whose spouse has earned income). You fund it with contributions directly from your bank account.
A 401(k) is an employer-sponsored retirement plan where you make contributions through salary deferrals, meaning money is automatically taken out of your paycheck.
