Some people think an IRA
won't nelp until retirement..
Nonsense. A BB&T
IRA helps evervApril 15. ?
An IRA, you see, is more than a fast-growing
retirement fund. It's a tax shelter.
Now, the tax-wise have been taking advantage
of tax shelters for years, contributing money to %
charity, for example, so they can take big deduc
tions and pay smaller income taxes.
Well, we think it's about time working people
got a piece of the action. And they can with
BB&T's Individual Retirement Account, a tax
shelter that's yours when you make a contribu
tion to the charity closest to your heart: you and
your family. \
YOU CAN DEDUCT AS MUCH AS $2,000 p
A YEAR FROM YOUR GROSS INCOME. P
You're allowed to invest as much as $2,000 a
year in your IRA ($2,250 if you're married and *V
only one of you is a wage earner, $4,000 if you
both are). And every penny is deductible. Which ^
means big tax savings. If you're in the 25% tax H
bracket, for example, and you and your working
spouse put $4,000 into an IRA, your refund check *
from Uncle Sam will be $1,000 fatter than it ??|
would be otherwise.
YOU DON'T EVEN PAY TAX ON THE ?
INTEREST YOU EARN UNTIL YOU RETIRE, f
Which is nice, because at BB&T, you'll be \
earning at a rate that's tied to money market rates, i
with a guaranteed minimum of 8%. What's more,
we don t compound that interest annually or quar- I

terly as some banks do. We compound daily, which
* can make a difference of thousands of dollars in
interest over the years.
And all your interest is tax-deferred. You pay
no tax on it until you begin withdrawing funds
between 59% and 70V^ years of age, when you'll
probably be in a lower income tax bracket and,
therefore, required to pay less.
'. YOU CAN BUILD UP ENOUGH IN YOUR
IRA OVER THE YEARS TO RETIRE RICH.
If you start an IRA in your early thirties, a
$2,000-a year investment, with all the interest it %
earns, will turn into a really tidy sum by the time
you're sixty-five. And even if you were born too
soon to start that early or can't afford an invest
ment that large, youll still pile up a sizeable
retirement fund.
Call or visit any BB&T office and get your
IRA started before another day goes by. After all,
how can you pass up a plan that gives you big
bucks in the September of your life ana a bigger
refund check every April?
