Answer to Question 1

Suppose that you are in the 28 tax bracket. If you save 1000 per year in a savings account without tax protection you will see a 1000 drop in your net income. However, if you save 1000 through an IRA you will only experience a 720 drop in your net income. The reason for this is that the 1000 is not subject to taxation. Normally 28 of this 1000 of income would be withheld (280).
