When I was a little kid, I thought a 401 (k) meant you had $401,000 saved away by the time you turned 40. Talk about a miscalculation, huh? Well, I wasn\u2019t alone: 63 percent <\/a>of working Americans with access to 401k data don\u2019t understand how they work and don\u2019t invest in one.<\/p>\n

What sets finance apart from other fields is that it is one of the few arenas where experts <\/a>and novices compete on equal footing. If you don\u2019t want to end up\u00a0 a statistic here\u2019s what you should know.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvesting favors the dispassionate. Markets efficiently separate emotional investors from their money.\u201d<\/p>\n

20 Years-old: Median Net Worth:$0 or less<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a student or battling with student debt, it\u2019s almost certain that your net worth is lower than the average person\u2019s, and that\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n

So ask yourself: Is the American college system really that much of a scam? Yes. You can still make the most of college, and it\u2019s still a good idea if you want a specific job, yet the vast majority will work at Starbucks<\/a>. Or live at home in their 30s.<\/p>\n

(Great idea, America, to burden your youngest generation with the most debt!)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Actions to take in your 20s are to first know thyself. What are your goals in finance and in life? How do you want to achieve them? How long do you want to invest for? And what kind of investor are you?<\/p>\n

Second, build good credit by paying off your student loans on time and not borrowing more than you need. Don\u2019t finance a slice of pizza on Klarna (or at least don\u2019t do it every day). Lastly, remember you are never too late.<\/p>\n

Eight years ago, I started investing at age 21, and people said a recession was just around the corner. \"btcBTC \u25bc-0.43%<\/span><\/a> is up 1,119.88%<\/p>\n

30 Years-Old: Median Net Worth: Less than $35,000<\/h2>\n

This is a necessary time to point out: don\u2019t compare yourself to anyone but yourself. These are just metrics to help guide your progress.<\/p>\n

At this age, we recommend staying out of debt.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As someone who\u2019s been in debt, it\u2019s like drowning in an ocean of numbers.\u00a0 Actions to take are to maximize the amount of money matched in your 401(k) if your job offers it.<\/p>\n

A 401k is a tax-advantaged retirement account in which your employer will match a certain percentage of your contributions up to a maximum amount per year; moreover you can have your 401k payout in Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
