Really? This is news? I literally had to be “talked to” numerous times before putting money into some sort of savings. Luckily I listened and started at 25 years old....but I didn’t have much in a 401K until my mid-30’s when I realized “I have to have a nest egg for my family”.
Whenever I hear the word "Nest Egg", you know the first thing that comes to mind....
“Please do me a favor, don’t use the word. You may not use that word--it’s off-limits to you. Only those in this house who understand nest egg may use it. And don’t use any part of it either. Don’t use ‘nest,’ don’t use ‘egg.’ If you’re out in the forest you can point. The bird lives in a round stick. And you have things over easy with toast.”

When I started my job at GTE (decades, many decades ago) the first thing I did was sign the paperwork to match what GTE put in towards their Matching Funds program. I was continually telling co-workers to sign up and most of them (females - AUGH) simply wanted to spend their money at the time they earned it....no thought to the future. AUGH.
