Quoted from wamonkey:If your young enough join the National Guard serve long enough and you can get healthcare at 60 as a restatement package (it’s not VA).
Probably too late for this conversation...but it’s on deck for me (still serving)
It’s not without risks and the guard does get involved in conflicts these days but it’s one of the few jobs that promise you healthcare after you retire.
Thank you for serving in the military.
Quoted from Eric_S:This is spot on. I recommend to all new engineers starting at my company to put 15% of their pay in a 401k before the first pay check so they never miss it and learn to live what remains. The first few years are slow, but when the exponential growth starts to kick in, it really is amazing. I wish high schools/colleges would take some time to go over these concepts as most people have pretty limited exposure to basic financial competence.
