Doing a ROTH IRA ASAP is smart.. I'm 25 now started mine at 20, it sucks not having as much money to play with needing to put it in there, but at least I know when im of retirement age I should be pretty well off
Plus I have a profit sharing retirement plan for work, however I don't pay anything for that. My boss depostis a good chunk monthly for that.
I'm broke as fuck now, but I'm thinking long term.
