Bingo. Why gamble with investing when you have a sure thing from the gub’mint?
Not “gamble” but BOTHER!!
yup...
i was 24YO and entering the second year of the job I’ve now been with for 27years...one of the old timers says to me “did you sign up for the 401K plan yet?” I reply “no” thinking, what the hell do i need that for???
he says, “i’m going to get the form- we’ll sign you up now”...so he helps me fill out the form and says “put 10% here in the contribution box”....i think to my self 10%!!! What??? I’ll change it to 3% next week!!
never changed it, in fact i increased it and never stopped contributing...
singularly it was the greatest piece of financial advice anyone ever gave me.
