1. A defined contribution plan is a retirement account that is funded primarily by the employee. Some employers will match the employee's contribution based on the amount the employee contributes to the plan, making it a productive choice. 2. If any money is taken from a traditional IRA account before age 59½, then a 10% penalty will generally be assessed. Exceptions to the 10% penalty exist, for example, if the money is used for the purchase of a new home, to fund qualified education expenses, due to death or disability, to pay health insurance premiums while unemployed, or if you roll the money over to another retirement account.
