[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't invest in my company's 401k when I first graduated from college because I didn't know retirement savings were important then. Where I grew up everyone lives off social security. I also blew a ton of stupid money on restaurants and taxis when I got my first good paying job. [/quote] +1. And I had matching funds (up to a certain percentage) available, and I gave up free money. I was 22 and didn't know what I was doing, had parents who were on pensions and didn't know the first thing about 401ks, I was just thinking hey I need all of my money *now*.[/quote] LOL. I spent the first decade of my career working for one company where the retirement plan was the company stock and another company with an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Suffice to say that those "savings" are now worthless. [/quote]
