We understand that it can be tough, especially if struggling just to make rent, but these are your prime years to start saving.

Sign Up for a 401(k)
If your employer offers a 401(k) plan, sign up for that as soon as you have the opportunity to do so. Not only does a 401(k) allow your assets to grow, but many employers will also make contributions to your 401(k) in order to encourage participation. If your employer doesn’t offer a 401(k), sign up for an IRA. This is a beneficial alternative.
