   @danielpunkass Given current potential instability, that seems like worse advice than putting it in a CD.

     ATTENTION YOUNG PEOPLE. I'm allergic to work but attracted to money. My last "real job" ended in 2002, capping off a ~7 year career at Apple. I didn't make a ton in salary, but while there I contributed the max to 401K. I invested in basic index funds and forgot about them. Now they're worth as much as 10 years working that same job. Invest young, celebrate later. 🌈
