Another mistake people make is cashing out the 401K, when small, when switching jobs.
Passed the good word on to my kids and sister, and they are playing the game much smarter than I did. They will be well set if they keep to the plan (heck, just having a plan is more than most have!). Here's to retiring debt-free, without planning on the government to keep me going.
Hoping to die independent and leave my kids something to remember me by (besides my good looks)! ;-)
