Vanguard Podcast: Young investors

A great little podcast that I had to pass along. Vanguard gives tips on 401ks and other investments for young people.

Highlights:

  • Investing is for your long term goals
  • Regular savings don't provide high returns
  • Spend less than you earn
  • Credit card debt must be resolved before investing
  • Even small investments can go a long way if you start early and do it regularly
  • First investment priority is saving for retirement
  • Target-retirement funds can provide an easy way to begin investing
  • Teach yourself about investing through online articles, parents, etc.
