SEP IRA
A SEP IRA — short for simplified employee pension plan — is a tax-advantaged retirement plan designed for business owners. While it can be used by businesses of any size, it’s often used by small business owners and self-employed individuals.
High earner, not yet rich (HENRY)
HENRY is an acronym for "high earner, not yet rich." It is used to describe someone who earns a high income, usually between $100,000 to $500,000, but has not saved or invested enough to be considered rich. HENRYs typically spend a large portion of their earnings on expenses and purchases.
Non-deductible IRA
A non-deductible IRA is not a type of retirement account. Instead, it refers to non-deductible contributions made to a traditional retirement account. This retirement savings strategy is for those whose income exceeds the limits to make deductible IRA contributions or to contribute to a Roth IRA.
