[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 35 and have no retirement savings and DH controls the $$ (I am terrible with money so he took things over and then...yeah) so none going toward my 401(k) right now. We have two kids in daycare and a too-big mortgage for a too-big house. Basically I regret everything financially.[/quote] You are only 35 at least - start now, can you direct money from your job into your 401K and perhaps also a monthly automatic deduction into an index fund (start small, don't worry if the value goes down in the next few years, as you'd just be buying at cheaper levels, you'll be dollar-cost averaging until age 65). These would be good decisions, I don't see how you can mess it up if you do automatic monthly deductions for the next 25-30 yrs. Take charge and take care of yourself. [/quote]
