The topic of 401Ks and  IRA is not so worthy a topic as the vessel into which one places their savings. Ultimately, both are merely tax deferred savings plans, where the savings are held is most important.  Further, the question of what kind of investor are you is not an issue either, all the companies listed offer the full spectrum of accounts from aggressive to very conservative.

Most importantly, look at the companies, their track histories, and yes...their fees!!! Only one company on the list is worthy of mention and that is Vanguard. Not only do they have the performance history, but their...

Vanguard IRA is an excellent fund because it allows your earning to grow tax free.  Even during retirement age when you take your distribution it is tax free. There is only a minimun of $3,000 to fund one.  So if you want somewhere to start, start here.

Vanguard has been a great company which I use for my IRAs.  In fact, I appreciate their service so much I started my kids with Vanguard IRAs when they were 18.  We have all been able to build our Retirement accounts over the years.  Their service is very easy to use.  You can invest as little or as much as you want.  It has worked well for me.

Invested in my future, fairly new to investing, watching my finances, a hard worker

When I first started a retirement account through my employer, I didn't know a thing about investing and was really scared of it.  So I went with the broker they recommended and of course got fleeced by high fees.  That's what happens when you don't take the time to learn what you're doing.

So I started to learn just a thing or two about investing and decided to open a Roth account (since I am young and the tax advantage will work out very well for me).  I am starting with mutual funds while I continue to learn, so I got four mutual fund companies' websites and started comparing them.  Some...

i've been using vanguard's ira and regular mutual funds now for over 5-6 years now.  they have been really great for those of us who don't get into the nitty gritty of investing.  great tools to use to learn about risk and how it guides you towards various funds that match your risk tolerance.  moreover it lets you know at each step why it recommends such funds... so far i've made some pretty decent returns over the years and the IRA i chose is still chugging along.

vanguard's website, compared to some other investment firms' i've used, is by far the easiest to use.  they really make an effort...

I have been with Vanguard for a couple of years now, through my employer's 401K program, and they have always done well fo rme. They have various forms of financial education material to assist you in your investment decisions. They ask you a few quesitons about your investment needs and wants and provide an asset mix to help you invest to meet your needs and goals. I would recommend their services to anyone looking to invest for theier future.

I am new to 401k and other retirement plans. And even more living on a fixed income. I make good and My wife brings home good pay too. So why don't I see the benefits of it all? I'm am broke every paycheck. I work over 100 hours a week sometimes my wife 50 or more. I wondering for along time of just how this is... I came up with the fact that I'm in debt up to my eye bays! I was never told about savings and investing in high school was a joke. It was all about the cars and clothes and who had what. I was able to get a great great job without any schooling which is a blessing above all others. Once...

I began investing with Vanguard years ago and started small, but each year as I added what I could I saw it grow.  Yes, I lost "some" with the recent crash, but not as much as others and I've gotten most of it back.   I took advantage of their coaching and diversified so that it would be relative to my age and my personal goals.  I found a long time ago you had to take some personal responsibility and not just leave it to the experts....unles youare very, very sure you have told the experts everything you expect. (and to be honest, when I started, I did not know what my life would be now, so...

Working for a financial institution, and having absolutely no prior knowledge of IRA products, I always seek advice from one of our bank's financial advisors. After two years of being with the bank, he still backs Vanguard 100% and so do I. While everyone else wanted to go with the company they thought would suit them best, I stood by still with Van., and unfortunately watched those who thought they knew better lose a lot of money. Go Vanguard! They know their stuff and care about their clients.

I've been with Vanguard for about 20 years.  Once I left the company where I started my VG 401k, I rolled it into a Roth IRA.  Everytime I've called them on the phone, I've gotten knowledgable, helpful people who did exactly what they said and helped me with any questions.  I use their website frequently and never have any problems.

I would reccommend this to anyone thinking of investing.

I have my SIMPLE IRA through Vanguard and couldn't be happier. Even though I am able to contribute only a small portion of my paycheck to the IRA (since I have small children at home, i.e. lots of expenses!), my account has grown at a nice, steady pace over the last 6-7 years, and I am looking forward to being able to increase my contributions.

TRY TO INVEST IN CONSERVATIVE THEN AGGRESSIVE. IT IS SAFE TO DO. BUT SOME PERCENTAGE SHOULD GO IN AGGRESSIVE AND MODRATE BUT VERY LITTIL. MAKE SURE COMPANY HAVE GOOD REPUTATION,GROWTH, IMAGE. TRY TO INVEST COMPLIT COMAPANY MATCH FOR IRA OR 401K

Vanguard IRA and the Vanguard line of product is the best low fee service you'll find.  I was albe to tranfer my Rollover IRA to them.  Their website is simple and easy to use.  Best of all you'll make more from your money from the lower fees.
