A 401(k) is more common than a pension. Like with pensions, a person sets aside money from each paycheck for their 401(k). As part of an employee benefits package, an employer may match 401(k) contributions. Money that goes into a 401(k) is invested in the stock market where it (ideally) earns money. Post-retirement, a person can access that money without having to pay taxes to the government. However, because a 401(k) is invested in the stock market, it can be a bit of a gamble. There’s a chance you can earn a lot of money for retirement with the right investments, but there’s also a chance you could lose money—a lot of 401(k) money was lost during the recession. Typically though, a 401(k) is a solid investment to make in your own future.

Which of the following statements is true about 401(k)s?

You can’t work forever. At some point, working becomes difficult because of age or unexpected illness or other unforeseen circumstances. Or, you may get to an age where you’ve put in so many years working that you are ready to stop. Many people decide to retire from working when they reach their 60s. Fortunately, there are systems in place to make sure you still receive money after you retire. One way is through pensions. A pension is essentially a paycheck that continues to pay you after you’ve retired. This is usually offered to employees who have spent many years working at the same company. Just like with insurance, it isn’t free. Throughout your career, you and your employer contribute money to a fund that’s waiting for you after you retire. Only certain jobs offer pensions, however. They are common in government jobs, such as public school teachers, police and fire officials, the military and other government offices.
