What’s the average 401(k) balance?
It goes without saying: if you’re not investing in your 401(k) retirement plan at work, you should be.
Everyone knows that if you start saving a little bit of money every paycheck from the time you start your career in your early 20’s, all that compound earnings and interest will lead to millions of dollars upon retirement.
Really – you CAN BE A MILLIONAIRE with just a little bit of effort.

Remember when you could buy a candy bar for a quarter? When pay phones were a dime? (We know – what’s a pay phone?). When a quarter really could get you almost anything – from a can of soda to a round on an arcade game.

What’s the first thing you looked forward to after landing your first job?
Getting that first paycheck, right?
And what’s the first thing your parents likely told you to do with that paycheck? Put it into the bank. Save that money for a rainy day. You’ll get married some day, or perhaps you’ll want to retire comfortably.
And then you got that note from Human Resources that said, “Congratulations! You’re now eligible to participate in the company’s 401(k) retirement savings plan!”
