I came across this article that I found somewhat useful. Luckily, I’m already taking many of the steps that are outlined here. You should be too. There’s even a good calculator on there to help you to decide how to allocate stuff so we can all buy matching condos on our own private island.
One of the biggest takeaways that I’ve discovered by reading through investing documents (especially 401k/retirement style investing papers) is that the earlier you start contributing, the better off you are. If you’re not in one right now, get in one. If you don’t have one, find one. They’re all over the freaking place now. If you really are in need, I can give you the number of a very tenacious financial panther that wouldn’t stop calling me to tell me that he had a 401k program/plan that I could get in on. The words “I’ve already got one” didn’t seem to sink in with this guy, but he’ll throw himself in front of a train before he’ll let you continue with no retirement plan.
The more I’m looking into this stuff, the more I’m getting interested in it. Weird, what an adult thing to be interested in.
