[quote=Anonymous]I’ve said it here before and I’ll tell the story again, in case it helps some young person make a better choice. When I got my first professional job right out of college they offered a good retirement 401k match if I filled out the form and brought it to HR. I never did that. So for the first several years of my professional working life, when my expenses were rent in an apartment with many roommates, lots of beer and bar money, and travel to bachelorette parties, I saved zero for retirement. I eventually got an MBA and started saving 5 years later than I could of, never taking advantage of years of matching funds at a time in my life I wouldn’t have missed them and they had the longest to compound. I refuse to do the math on how much I missed out, but I think it’s at least a year or two of retiring earlier.[/quote]
