I’m having a meeting to set mine up on Thursday. My company matches 3%, and that’s what I’m putting in.
I hope that the dude I’m meeting with can choose my investments for me, but idk if that’s an option here.
I want to be prepared.

In addition to the good tips here and if your company offers it, know the difference between a Roth 401k and regular. In a Roth, you pay taxes going in and the gains are not taxed. In a traditional 401k, the amount you put in is untaxed, but you’re taxed when you take it out. Early on your career, you would hope that the gains outweigh the initial investment.
