Upon starting a first job, or any new job, check to see if your employer offers a retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b) plan. Some employers may also offer traditional defined benefit pension plans. Whether or not your employer has a retirement savings plan, you can start saving with an Individual Retirement Account, or IRA. There are traditional and Roth IRAs, which offer different tax advantages.
