Most Irish folk don't joke about the troubles.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

would it be prudent to serve Irish car bombs after the meeting?

I’m guessing I’m a bit too European, but what else does IRA mean?

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 57 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

An individual retirement account (IRA) is a tax-advantaged personal savings plan designed to help individuals save money for retirement. These accounts offer tax benefits, such as tax-deferred growth or tax-free withdrawals, depending on the type of IRA chosen. Unlike employer-sponsored 401(k)s, individuals typically open and manage IRAs on their own at a financial institution like a bank or brokerage. Anyone with earned income can open an IRA, even if they already have a workplace retirement plan.

...depending on the type of IRA chosen.

Are there two options, by any chance? Provisional? Official?

pre-tax "traditional" and post-tax "Roth", named after a politician that pushed retirement tax laws 30-40 years ago

And depending on where you plan to retire (amongst other factors) influences which you choose to contribute to.

Remember kids, index funds in your IRA/401k are your friend. Stay away from mutual funds.

Ahh, thank you for taking the time to explain.

Does the IRA have a good IRA plan?

Might switch careers to being Irish if that's the case.

[–] f314@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

It’s revolutionary.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Depends if Sean Bean is involved.

[–] fulcrummed@lemmy.world 14 points 6 hours ago

I don’t know if I’d call it controversial, but perhaps incendiary.

[–] deHaga@feddit.uk 6 points 7 hours ago

They robbed the Northern Bank in Belfast for their post terror pension plan. £26.5m

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Understandable mistake, as with them being your employer you would expect it to be a 401k plan

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

Well, the IRA tends to bring people on more as independent contractors rather than full-time employees. Hence the preference for IRAs.

Looks like I brought my drill to work for nothing

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

The meeting is about potato allotment, but profits are down so it's not good news.
