I am 24 years of age. I have been taking 10% of my salary and investing it in my companies 401k. I also have |
have maxed my Roth IRA contributions for the past 2 years. Is there any thing else I should be doing? I am currently saving for a down payment for a home but don't want to miss any investment opportunities. Am I doing it right? You are doing an excellent and amazing job. Most people in your age group don't even have the idea to do what you are doing. One more point in addition to the fine advice from Ralleia. Do not invest all of your money in company stock. If you have to, then ask when is the earliest time you can sell it. Think of what happened to the people at Enron. That's fantastic that you are saving so much. One thing to keep in mind that most people with a 401(k) or IRA don't know (I didn't either when I had one) is that if you have your money going to an account where you can trade stock/sell options, you can make even more money with no risk to losing money by selling call options for every 100 shares of stock that you own. This can decrease your cost basis on the shares so that when the values fluctuate downward you don't have to be in the red. The trick is to sell an option at a price that the stock will not likely reach before the option expires. Congratulations on starting your retirement investing so early. It will pay big dividends in later life. If you are saving for a house, you don't want to touch that tax-sheltered retirement savings, so you need to start putting money into taxable (non tax-deferred) savings. Money market or mutual funds are probably the best choice buyt use care to pick a "tax efficient" investment vehicle. |
