IRA:个人退休账户
IRA stands for Individual Retirement Account, and it’s basically a savings account with big tax breaks, making it an ideal way to sock away cash for your retirement. A lot of people mistakenly think an IRA itself is an investment – but it’s just the basket in which you keep stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other assets.

ROTH IRA:罗斯个人退休账户
Roth IRA an individual retirement account allowing a person to set aside after-tax income up to a specified amount each year. Both earnings on the account and withdrawals after age 59½ are tax-free. It’s created in 1997 and named for Senator William Victor Roth II (1921–2003) of Delaware, who proposed this in Congress.
