I think consistently funding an IRA with $4,000 every year is a reliable way to add to your retirement nest egg. It follows then that saving $8,000 a year would be twice as nice. If you are married, your nest egg could double through IRA contributions even if only one of you has earned income. Every married couple with at least $8,000 in earned income can contribute $4,000 to each of their own IRAs and benefit from tax-deferred savings for retirement, and possibly other financial goals as well. Additionally, those who are over age 50 can contribute an extra catch-up contribution of $500.
