Love this! I fucked up by starting a glorfied savings marketed as an “ira” since ill be in grad school a few years before entering the workforce 🙂 wish I would have read this then!
The amount of folks I hear say that each year is so upsetting. It's such an easy mistake to make because it's not clear as you set up your accounts. Glad you still fixed it early and were at least in the habit of setting money aside for retirement. Those are still big wins!
The difference between saving and investing is huge. I wish we didn’t use the terms interchangeably when referring to retirement.
Ugh, me too! It's really frustrating because language matters!
