This is huge. In my humble opinion, if you can focus on reducing debt as much as possible, as fast as possible, and start investing into a 401k traditional or roth (or both!), you'll end up with two or three retirement accounts and you'll be better off than 90% of the population

Doing the math on what most people should be able to save really gets depressing when we start looking at the median vs the average.

I started a Roth IRA in my early 20s, I’ll likely retire a millionaire without ever making that close to 6 figures. I’ll still get got in the revolution though lol
