I’ve heard about Roth IRA accounts and have wondered how they compare to a traditional IRA.  I sat down with my boss, Erik Dyrland, and in about 15 minutes had a pretty good understanding of the comparisons and differences.  I have had a traditional IRA account for many years but for my 2006 IRA contribution, I will be opening a Roth IRA account to take advantage of its many benefits.  There is still time to inquire about a Roth IRA and make a 2006 contribution.  To talk to MY qualified financial advisor, contact Erik Dyrland’s office, Farmers Insurance & Financial Services at (360) 734-5072 or visit our website at www.dyrlandinsurance.com   I do encourage you to find out about a Roth IRA account - it’s a good investment in your future!
