Roth IRA’s are cool cause you can manage your own money if you’re so inclined. My 401k I just dump the whole thing into VTIVX and let Vanguard do the work for me. ---

You’d have to suck at life to not be extremely green at this point in time. Comparatively, unless you didn’t start investing until November, you’ve lost more than you’ve gained. ---
