This question is another tricky one because it depends on who is asking it. If you’re 18 and asking this question, well, I’d say you’re starting off right by asking, and if you are putting away 10% – even if you’re only making $20,000 per year, you’re saving $2,000/year and in 50 years you’d be [...]
I’ve had 2 posts worth of BAD investing decisions so far (1, 2). I didn’t want people to think I’ve not made any GOOD decisions, because I have, just not as many yet. I’m still young, had no financial education, and had some bad financial advice early in my career. But I’m riding the wave [...]

I’ve been posed this question off and on over the past few years, so I figured it best to say the order I put my cash away. If you’ve realized that you DO need to save it, you’ve already jumped the first snag; now the question is WHERE to put the money? There are so [...]
