1. Hands down, this is numero uno, Invest in a 401k or other retirement plan now!

4. Don’t cash in your 401K if you leave your job. Get in contact with your bank or company like Vanguard and rollover your money into an IRA account. Or leave it at your old job until you get settled in at your job and transfer it over into their retirement plan.
