Savings for the Long Term: Saving for the future is one of the hardest disciplines that we can master. Having a nest egg for retirement is not as hard as we make it out to be with a little structure and help from GKCU. With IRAs and CDs, you can set money aside to earn higher returns than regular savings accounts. A variety of options are available. CLICK HERE to see which option might be right for you.

What is an IRA anyways? An Individual Retirement Account is a tax-deferred savings account that allows you to save money from your paycheck towards retirement needs. READ MORE ( There are eligibility requirements and funding caps so be sure to ask and research what the requirements are for the account you want to open.)

It Doesn't have to be TAXING: Soon our thoughts will turn to filing our taxes. Let GKCU help with our affiliation with TurboTax, a simple and easy way to file your taxes online.
