Talk:MyRA (Retirement Account)

This is the content before the redirect was implemented
myRA is a simplified retirement account proposed by President Barack Obama during his 2014 State of the Union address delivered to joint session of Congress on January 28, 2014

The paragraph of detail on the State of the Union fact sheet, read: Creating “myRA” – A Safe, Easy-to-Use Starter Savings Account to Help Millions of Middle Class Americans Save for Retirement. Starting to save is just the first step towards a secure retirement. Workers must have a place to invest their hard-earned savings that provides an appropriate balance of risk and return, and many private sector providers do not offer retirement savings options tailored to smaller balance savers. Our retirement system should help these potential savers and encourage them to begin building their retirement security. The President is using his executive authority to create “myRA” (my Retirement Account) – a new simple, safe and affordable “starter”  retirement savings account that will be available through employers and help millions of Americans  save for retirement. This savings account would be offered through a familiar Roth IRA Account and, like savings bonds, would be backed by the U.S. government.
