Basic Retirement Planning Literacy

Submitted by Ben Williams on May 23, 2020 - 11:31pm

I am not a financial expert and have no qualifications of any kind, except for doing a million-tabs-open-at-once-self-directed crash course in retirement saving. I'd be happy to share my knowledge and at least get you oriented to some of the language (what's an IRA? 401k? Roth account?), some of the basic theory (how much do I need to save to retire?), and some ideas on where to start (what should I read next?) With the caveat that you should do your own research and talk to someone with real expertise before doing anything with your money.
