That's what I thought I've been reading up on it alot since the Gamestop stuff. My friend keeps trying to get me on this Acorn thing. Dont know much about it seems kinda gimmicky figured the smart money would be to tie up into something like a ROTH instead.

Max that bitch out @ $6000 per year.

That's what I'm thinking. 25 bucks a pay check that's 50 bucks a month. Really not expensive at all thats my apple Music and netflix subscription + cell phone bill.

$6000, not $600.

But putting anything in is good.

Oh I do and have been.

I just know that not everyone can afford that. There's nothing wrong with even a few hundred dollars per year, especially if you're young.

A ROTH IRA is probably the most valuable investment vehicle for middle class earners. You should, however, contribute first to your 401k to get your full employer match (free money). After that, people should look to fund a ROTH.

Yeah that but I'm finally getting my tax return from last year and this years plus with the Biden bucks I would have about 6k I could throw in there

I was just looking at my ROTH and I have a mutual fund with T Rowe Price that made 50% in the past year. I thought that was fucking awesome for passive investing.

I'm pissed that this was never explained to me when I was in college.

No one told me shit either.

Financial lifestyle should be a mandatory class in HIGH SCHOOL.

Our educational system is a failure.

I went to college full-time for 7 years and never once took a business class for either of my degrees.

I find that sad. I've learned all on my own but it shouldn't be that way.

Does your employer offer a 401k? Many are also offering ROTH 401ks now. Or will you be looking to set this up yourself?

I think this thread has all kinds of helpful advice and tips throughout it.

Day trading is part of investing as well, doesn't mean everyone on here does it, I'm just dabbling with my stimulus money from the Govt. with that. Play money i call it.

Dude I said this EXACT same thing to my friend the other night. Hes got a pretty good job and is really good at saving money I was like maybe you need to look into this.
[Reply]

Same here. Well maybe not pissed, but disappointed that I wasn't wise to it.

I've gotten a late start on supplemental retirement savings and have already banked a lot. I shudder to think how much I would have if I had started saving at 22 rather than in my 30s.

I'm starting a new job here shortly and yes they do.
