Investors are constantly under a deluge of financial advice. With so many options and different types of investment vehicles and strategies, it’s no wonder most individuals feel overwhelmed by the prospect of retirement saving. However, planning for one’s financial future is a pivotal task, the importance of which cannot be understated.
One option nearly all investors would be wise to take advantage of is the Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA), which allows a person to contribute money each year, albeit not deductible from one’s taxes, that will grow tax-free until retirement.

Several well-known and well-managed businesses, including Altria (NYSE: MO) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) pay dividend yields very close to 5% annualized.
