    At 61 I have a word advice to 21 year olds. Start on your retirement now, even if in the smallest way, start NOW. The next 40 years will pass by quicker than you can believe.

      Yes you have I’m hope you start saving and investing now. Open a Roth IRA as it can’t be taxed when you st at t withdrawing money at 60, taxes will always go up so a Roth is a smart move. Open a brokerage account with fidelity as well and put money in it every month. I promise that you will become a millionaire before 40.

      @@jonnychingas5757 I have been in sales for over 30 years and realtors are not real sales people. You can't change or modify any home enough for somebody to be persuaded to change their mind to buy a house. In other words, you are an overpaid glorified paper pusher that extorts up to 3% of a real estate transaction from the hard work homeowner. You bring no value to the equation other then an admin function. People can get their own mortgage and title company. Heck if something needs to be fixed on a house before it is purchase it is usually the seller that has to arrange that too. Most relators just want to list your house because that is easy money! Aside from writing an offer I am not sure what if anything you do other than we have to pay you 3%. People even find their own homes on the internet. Your in a business that will hopefully die soon and we can all save a lot of money!

    Better late than never. Here are some rules. 1. Never borrow money except for a house. The interest will eat you up. House is the only one that appreciates to absorb the cost of interest. 2. Never buy a new car. A good used car has already been depreciated. 3. Make up a good realistic budget and stick to it. 4. Try to save $ 5500 each year to put into a self directed Roth IRA invested in a growth stock. 5. Have life and medical insurance, hopefully with contribution from your employer.

But too many young people just laugh and say "I'll work until I die" and then change the subject. My dad is almost 80 and he often argues just like you say--but only about the little things. He listened to experts about the big things, financial and otherwise, when he was young, and now he can afford to not really have to care what other people's opinions on finances are. That's a pretty good way to win an argument.
