We had this dude working for us. Comes wants a job. So much an hour fine. Always seems to have something to do. Needs to come late. Wants to leave early always has shit to do. So naturally he broke. All the time. Zomg how am I going to make rent blah blah blah. Dude if I were broke and hourly you couldn’t drag me out of that farm with a log chain. Nope. Gotta do this gotta do that.

Then later on he’s plying me for a raise. Which I’m not going to give him because he doesn’t work enough. Anyway he’s whining to me that he doesn’t have any retirement and his dad took retirement at 58 or whatever the soonest he could take (prorated) social security. So his dad is starving to death on prorated social security and doesn’t have a 401k or anything like that. And he doesn’t want to be that way. Wants to do better blah blah blah. His narrative was that he’s this great employee and deserves better. He wasn’t and didn’t, but that doesn’t matter to the story.

So I ask him if he has an IRA. What’s that? Jesus man. A 20 minute google search on “retirement” and you can probably know enough to get a retirement fund started anyway. But all I get is a blank look. So I told him to bring me all his information and I’d help him get one started.

Guess what he never did. Start a retirement fund. But somehow it’s my fault that his dad is a flaming moron and took social security as early as he possibly could and had no other savings. And he’s unwilling to do anything to prevent it from happening to him.

He left and it’s fine. He was obviously not operating in good faith, so I’m fine with it.

But he was obviously worried about it, but totally unwilling to do anything to even try to figure out what to do. Just expect Buehler to fix it.
I had similar situation with a new kid at work. Same story w/his dad and all. I'm teaching him how to invest for the long term. I even wrote a book that I gave him and my kids on this topic. The young ones are easy if they just put it in each month. It's us baby boomers that are trying to hold on to what we have accumulated.

The stock market has never gone down in a 10 yr span. As long as you have 10 yrs to invest, put your $ in ea month on auto pay and leave it.

If you don't have 10 yrs, then it gets a bit dicier...

The first part of that is pretty difficult for n00bs, so I'd swap that with a diversified mutual fund.

90% of people should just buy an SP500 fund and be done with it.

You can only contribute a certain amount to your 401(k) each year. For 2019, that limits stands at $19,000. In 2020, the limit is expected to rise to $19,500.
For us non-401 K’rs...

One of the benefits of of being self employed - SEP IRA’s. You can contribute Up to 25% of your salary toward your SEP contribution at a max of $57,000 in 2020 (pre-tax dollars). I do this every year.

The delisting of Chinese companies has me worried about my position in BABA. they’re solid as a company but that could wreck US investors invested in it.
