Opened my first retirement account
« on: August 04, 2021, 04:07:40 PM »
Just opened a vanguard IRA (my employer doesn't have a 401k). It's a tiny step but I'm so excited. Could only put 500 in initially but will be maxing out my 2021 contribution by the end of the year!

One cannot walk without taking the first step.  May it be the first of many yet to come!

That's great!  And maxing it out is a decent chunk of change you'll be able to save!

That's great! Maxing out your first year is amazing! Keep the train rolling, and before you know it, you'll be looking for a 20something FIRE cohort thread!
